The Kids Might Die (a tale told by an idiot)
2004 Park Boulevard, San Diego, 92101
Cost: Free - $10
This solo show is a metatheatrical marriage of slapstick comedy and queer existential angst. As an audience member, you walk into what is supposedly a children's production of The Scottish Play. But when an emergency broadcast announces the incoming end of the world, the kids of the cast evacuate, leaving only their director, Jill, behind. The show must go on…right? This comedic solo piece seeks to answer the question: why do we make art when the world feels like it’s falling apart all around us? As Jill attempts to save the show, it devolves into an anxiety spiral on death and identity, featuring audience interaction, an epic guitar solo, and Heely’s.
