*PRE-ORDER* Joan of Arc in a Supermarket in California

$17.00

Frances odysseys down California’s freeways in search of a supermarket where she once received a prophecy. As the supermarket waits for her, its teen girl employees are watched by an unseen force. Frances inches closer, California burns, and the supermarket transforms monstrously. “Eerie” and “enrapturing,” Joan of Arc in a Supermarket in California is an epic daydream of a play that probes intuition in the wake of sexualized surveillance.

There will be two editions of Joan of Arc in a Supermarket in California available for purchase from 1319 Press. This pre-sale is for the acting script edition.

The other book will be an 8x10 “coffee table” edition, which acts as an artist collectible and includes production photos, original drawings from scenic and costume designer Cat Pfingst, and music by composers Caroline Strickland and MJ Upstairs from the 2023 Tank production, in addition to the script.

For the foreseeable future, 80% of sales from Joan of Arc in a Supermarket in California will go towards mutual aid efforts against ICE occupation. This month (January 31st-February 28th), profits will support critical rent assistance for families in Minneapolis. Donations may change each month based on need and will be updated on this site.
