Our Walk Through the World
Directed by Stephanie Cunningham, Bryan Hunt, Heather Lanza,
Jay Stull, & Abby Wylan
Our Walk Through the World is a journey through the beauty, the absurdity, and the tragedy of modern life. A global voyage in an evening of six short plays.
In Tilly (An Introduction), a young woman films herself auditioning to become a surrogate mother. Colour-coded jelly beans prove the saving of one man’s career in Rules of Assortment, and a soccer coach introduces his latest acquisition to an assembled press in Our Prospects For The Coming Season. A son is reunited with his biological mother in Relinquish, while in The Viewing a real estate agent shows a couple around their dream home to a soundscape of gunfire and screaming. In Frisky & The Panda Man, a conservationist tries to come to terms with a lost love, a lost world and the last panda.
