The Gentrification Cycle is a production of 2 plays by New York playwright, G.D. Kimble. An ensemble cast performs the west coast premiere of “Jen Tries Vacation” and the world premiere of
“Locomotive Repair in Three Easy Steps.” In “Jen Tries Vacation” there are limits to communication. An affluent couple, Jen and Finn, discover a landscape of magical manifest destiny: the inner city. In “Locomotive Repair in Three Easy Steps” we rediscover Chekhov’s 3 sisters in much the same place as we left them, though a bit more broken than before. The glue of ennui has started to slip. But whether they like it or not, things are finally going to change…
