BUG!
August 11 at 3:00 PM

J.K. Richards (Playwright)
Maya Shore (Director)
Michi Zaya (Bug)
Abigail Duclos (Ada)
Monroe Lemaire (Stage Directions)

Ada refuses to leave her apartment. A bug becomes something new. And one-million bugs scurry across the stage. Ada and Bug attempt to figure out what the hell anything means.
BUG is a new play from J.K. Richards that explores the absurdity of gender, the meaning of life, and, naturally, bugs. Originally written to reverse the narrative of Kafka's the Metamorphosis for a new audience, BUG tells the story of an insect who wants to learn how to be a human being and a human being who needs to learn the same thing. It is a play for cicadas, centipedes, flies, beetles, people who love life already, and those who try everyday to.

Content Warnings: BUG includes some profanity and discussions of sex. There are themes of existentialism, which may be difficult for some audience members.
