Bill’s Rice, a restaurant that serves only white rice, runs out of rice. When the opportunity arises to sell the building and close the business altogether, the owners are forced to confront their dreams and relationships. Little do they know, a reanimated ferret is seeking revenge — and he’s roped in their neglected daughter.

Featuring a cast of passionate, gross, jazzy, chain-smoking characters, The Last Grain of Rice is a satirical, absurd comedy that explores family, legacy, and letting go. Also, jelly bean jar competitions.

The Last Grain of Rice is the debut play of Hott Lettis, a playwriting partnership between a cis woman and a trans woman who are devoted to silliness, the beauty of imperfection, inherent feminine creativity, and satirizing theatre in a way only people who love it can.

For audiences 18+
Humor around gambling addiction, reclaimed humor around light homophobia and transphobia, general profanity, threats of arson, simulated smoking
