About the Project
You remember 2021, don’t you? The masks, Zoom calls, the way time stopped making sense. Spring Break is canceled, but, in her infinite wisdom, the Dean has given us Wellness Wednesday instead. Let’s drop acid and see what happens.
Wellness Wednesday is a Coming-of-Age Psychedelic Dramedy about five college roommates tripping acid on their day off. Set in the wake of the pandemic, this one-act play confronts the collective dreams and fears of emerging adults living through unprecedented times. It’s the messy, hilarious, heartbreaking experience of being young and stuck – stuck inside, stuck together, stuck between who you were and whoever you’re supposed to become next.
This show is about the family you make when your real one is far away or complicated, and the specific grief of knowing that family has an expiration date. Wellness Wednesday drags you back to the era we’ve all been trying to move past – to laugh at it, sit with it, and walk out feeling a little less alone in having survived it. Come on a trip with us!
