WRECKAGE - A Musical Tragicomedy

About

WRECKAGE: A Musical Tragicomedy features a four-person cast that includes veteran SF Mime Troupe collective members: Michael Gene Sullivan* (Security, Nestor, Bobby, Paul) Jed Parsario* (Gideon, Business Man, Bertrand, Karl, Lance) Keiko Shimosato Carreiro* (Stage Manager, Mari, Jeribeth) Chloris Li (Felicity, Business Woman, Fredericka, Claudine, Sergeant Nicola, Mari’s Mother). Is it just us, or does it feel like everything is falling apart? Mary, a flower seller barely managing to hold on in an increasingly unaffordable city, must defend her street corner from invading evangelical Felicity, who is herself torn between joyfully anticipating the Rapture and the discrepancies she’s found in her church’s accounting. Meanwhile Bobbie, a successful software developer who realizes his new AI agent is far from intelligent, is caught between telling his bosses at Anthropomorphic the dangerous truth, or delivering a dud that will - despite endangering the world - boost the stock. And patriotic immigrant Lance joined the National Guard and now finds himself deployed against protesters who are exercising the very freedom of speech he joined the military to defend! Hallucinating robots, economic collapse, protesting frogs, people praying for the End of the World - This is not the future, or the democracy, we were promised! But the real question is: When it’s all over will there be enough left to build something new out of this... wreckage? * The Actors and Stage Manager employed in this production are members of Actors' Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States.
