Crabs in a Bucket:
or How Bitterness Killed the Fun
by Bernardo Cubría
Independentley Produced by Laura Moreno
*Regional Premiere*
Role: Assistant Director/Stage Manager
Amargo and Pootz are two bitter crabs living in a shucking bucket. They spend their days talking chit about the crabs that got out, the ones who couldn't take it, and the losers who still live among them. When a new crab arrives filled with hope and change, they are faced with who they once were and their incessant dream of getting the shuck out.
A brilliant satire about the impact of “crab mentality” on oppressed communities whose members work against one another instead of together.
Produced with support from Houston Arts Alliance, Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs, and Bean & Rice Media Arts.
PULLMAN, WA
By Young Jean Lee
Produced by The Phoenix Group
*Regional Premiere*
Role: Associate Director
A play about what to do if you're unhappy and everyone around you is kind of an a**hole, including yourself. Three ordinary people address a live audience directly in an earnest, frequently disastrous attempt to show you how to live a better life. What starts as a poorly organized self-help seminar morphs into a hilarious, mind-bending exploration of personal growth, existential dread, and the absurdity of modern day-to-day life. Unfiltered, unhinged, and unexpectedly moving, Pullman, WA is a singular experience that should not be missed.
