John Perrin Flynn directs the new work, billed as "the story of three teenagers who have been surviving in a cabin in the Pacific Northwest, trying to keep their make-shift family unit together. The arrival of a stranger with a secret unhinges the life they knew, and the vestiges of civil behavior crumble. The play re-examines how our culture sees and instills gender, identity, and family…even in a future world where these strictures have eroded."
The cast includes West Liang, Brian Norris, Brian Pugach and Tania Verfield. The creative team includes Leigh Allen (lighting), Stephanie Kerley Schwartz (set) and Joseph "Sloe" Slawinski (sound).
