"Fire Country"
Written by Jessica Chisum | Directed by Helen T. Mariam
During the largest forest fire in the history of Washington state, a tech giant’s best-laid schemes come to a screeching halt. A CEO is missing in the wilderness, and the man who saw him last speaks only in riddles. As the fires loom on the horizon, a young biologist tracks a lone wolf searching for answers.
Inspired by the legend of Remus and Romulus and the founding of Rome, Fire Country explores the fantastical elements of the myth in a realistic setting.
Featuring Bob Downing, August Luna, Kelly Merdinger, Merri Ann Osborne, and Ezra Parker,
Tickets are Pay-What-You-Will. Performance on Zoom; post-show talkback for the playwright on Zoom.
This production of “Fire Country” is part of TSGP’s on-going series of developmental play readings on the Zoom platform, providing expanded opportunity for underheard voices and stories in theatre.

“‘The Care and Keeping of You’ never prepared me for creeping existential dread.”
Trigger warnings: suicide, child sexual abuse, transphobia
When Nils's ex-girlfriend dies suddenly, she drags him back into a toxic online roleplay scene he swore he'd never return to. He'd been doing okay sticking to his seven-year plan for getting over their breakup - but now, everyone either blames him or expects him to have answers, and he's getting nasty anonymous messages that might be coming from beyond the grave. A nuanced examination of identity, trauma, assault, grief, and mental health through an online world.
Written by Aliza Goldstein. Directed by Alison Kozar.
Tickets now available for both dates, February 26 & 27, 2021. All tickets are PWYW.

you’re still you
just
a better
truer
you
Moody:
But how do I become that person?
Where do I even start?
