About MEAT:
At a luxury health retreat in the woods of New Hampshire, a host of doctors, scientists, and therapy robots help patients transition to a meat-free lifestyle through… unconventional means. MEAT follows Chel, a playfully abrasive 20-something who’s allergic to routine; Kara, a quick-witted woman on the precipice of a major life change; and Charles, a cripplingly self-aware man obsessed with mortality, as they undergo unorthodox therapies administered by chilly scientist, Dr. Zeduri, and her series of therapy robots. An acerbic comedy with a sci-fi spin, MEAT questions how we narrativize change when our actions so often feel inevitable.

MEAT is a play about stagnancy: the feeling that the narrative arc of your life has slowly flattened while you were looking the other way. It's about ruts and routines and vapid, weightless reinvention. Alternately bone-dry and vaudevillian, MEAT takes daily indignities, self-inflicted or otherwise, in stride and ekes out a personal version of progress in a stubborn world that seems to be marching towards an inexorable end.

About Us

Our collaboration gives rise to dynamic work which plays with theatrical conventions and evolves that play over the course of its runtime. Our work utilizes theater’s heightened suspension of disbelief and leans into its own theatricality. We embrace ambiguity and reject pat answers and easy catharsis. We are interested in human-sized reactions to outsized events, tackling big subjects while keeping track of the emotions which permeate daily life. Our work moves beyond kitchen sink realism and revels in the absurdity of human interaction.

In development:TRACY TRICERATOPS AND THE END OF THE WORLD, a girl detective neo-noir set at the end of the Cretaceous Period, and WE DO THE SAME THING EVERYDAY, an absurdist riff on THE CAT IN THE HAT.

Past projects: PRIMETIME THEATER, a six-week theatrical event culminating in a series of funny, fast-paced new plays in the style of classic multi-cam sitcoms. Evenings of episodes were complete with original theme songs and commissioned commercial parodies. PRIMETIME THEATER helped to support over 30 early-career playwrights, directors, actors, and comedians in the creation of two original sitcom series.
