I had the honor of performing in the world premiere of the new play The Refugees presented by NYC’s Adjusted Realists in association with my alma mater Davidson College. It was amazing to be back safely in person performing live after all of this time. To be able to engage with this urgent subject matter was an honor. More info and pictures from the production below:
Who do we let in? This simple question resonates across the entirety of our lives today, ranging in scale from family feuds to geopolitical crises. In The Refugees, written and directed by Stephen Kaliski, a jaded queen and her activist children struggle to answer it, each side fiercely opposed over whether their prosperous realm should offer asylum to masses of immigrants displaced by climate change. Set in an imagined world that blends Ancient Greek myth with the realities of today, The Refugees electrifies one of the most urgent issues of our time with humor, humanity, and a passionate appeal to the power of civic engagement. This world premiere production in Charlotte, North Carolina, originally postponed by COVID-19, features an ensemble of professional and student actors and is presented by New York City's Adjusted Realists in association with Davidson College.
