About the Project

From the award winning team that brought you “The 7th Annual One Man Show World Championships” (Top of Fringe and Best Comedy Nominee 2015, Unleashed Best Male Performance [Darin Toonder] and Ezra Buzzington Best Male Performance Winner [Jim Hanna]), “Human Hothouse” (Theatre Unleashed Top Show Nominee, 2017), and “The Mayor’s Debate of Tranquility, Nebraska” (Best Comedy Nominee, Theatre Unleashed Best Show Winner, Tracey Collins Funny Girl Award Winner [Kate Hellen], 2019), comes their shortest-titled show ever!

Emma and Liz, two sisters with a fraught history, proceed to the dark task of cleaning out their father’s home following his death. Decades of tension and pettiness come to a head as they approach their final task: somehow opening their father’s locked trunk and revealing the dark secrets within. What is in their dead father’s trunk and why did he lock it? “Trunk” is a grim horror/comedy of long buried secrets and the disorienting terrors of grief.

Dear God…what’s in the trunk?
