A one-act experimental absurdist play that examines the topic of toxic whiteness, and how Americans might begin to address the role it has played in their formation as individuals and as a society. Set in the ether that is the modern American brunch, the play follows the existential chit-chat of Humans 1 and 2 as they ponder the impact of toxic whiteness in their own lives and try their hand at formulating solutions.

Sérgio-Andreo Bettencourt Urbina (Writer/Director) is a New York-based non-binary, mixed-race, first-generation Luso-Peruvian American playwright, poet, actor, and performance artist. A 2017 Lambda Literary Fellow in Playwriting, their works have explored themes including sex, addiction, race, gender issues, sexual identity, feminism, reproductive rights, ageism, classism, and abuse. Their writing credits include Hungry, Hungry, Demon (The Midnight Factory), Modern Love (Ruddy Productions), and Started from the Convent Now We’re Here (Lambda Literary).
