Play, 2f 1m

A tragic rom-com about theatre-makers thwarted by the infrastructure of the MTA, we follow two twenty-somethings as they navigate minimum wage jobs, blowjobs, mommy issues, grief, and producing theatre from beyond the grave.

Maya is a self-destructive playwright hell-bent on proving something to the world around her. Daniel is an overly cautious dramaturg looking to finally break out of his self-inflicted cocoon of isolation. They're working together at the same coffee shop, and they’re working together to self-produce a play. They also find themselves falling for each other. When tragedy strikes their process, that tragedy being a freak train derailment, it leaves only Daniel alive to complete their show, and only Daniel to reconcile with Maya’s chain of broken relationships, including a very strained one with her estranged fundamentalist Christian mother.

Her work has been seen at The Tank, The Brick, The Flea, IATI Theater/The Paradise Factory, Bechdel Project, The Players Theater, Clamour Theater Company, this beautiful church in New Jersey that she for the life of her can't remember the name of, and her wonderful, beautiful, gracious friends' living rooms, workplaces, and sneaky little spaces across all five boroughs. erincproctor.com
