POSTER BOY
DIRECTED AND DESIGNED BY KENDRA A MILLER
WRITTEN BY LOUISA DOYLE AND KENDRA A MILLER
CREATED BY LOUISA DOYLE
CAMDEN PEOPLE’S THEATRE
IN MARCH 2021, LOU SHOT A DOCUMENTARY THAT THEY CANNOT SHOW YOU. IT’S ABOUT A MISSING CAT POSTER, A 70 YEAR OLD PHOTOGRAPHER NAMED JACK, AND A PHONE CALL. LOU AND JACK DON’T SPEAK ANYMORE.
A BIASED PERFORMANCE OF JOURNALISM, AUTO-TUNE STORYTELLING, AND THE DELICATE QUESTION OF INTERGENERATIONAL CONFLICT AND WHETHER WE CAN (SHOULD?) SOLVE IT.
PROLOGUE
DIRECTED BY KENDRA A MILLER
WRITTEN AND CREATED BY HOLLY NOMAFO, LOUISA DOYLE, KENDRA A MILLER
CAMDEN PEOPLE’S THEATRE
AFTER THE END OF THE WORLD, TWO ZERO-HOUR-CONTRACT WORKERS CLOCK IN TO CLEAN THE PLACE UP.
A SWEATY ODE SET TO CHER, A TOAST TO THOSE WHO LEAVE BEFORE THEIR SHIFT IS UP.
