Life has never been normal for Owen and Pepper. It’s about to get a whole lot weirder. Job dissatisfaction. Crushed dreams. Kinder Egg trafficking. Brick Cats. Beer for Bears. Self-Awareness. A little too much shouting. Crime. Free Cake*. This play has everything you’ve never asked for. It’s worth a watch. Probably.
*Probably no free cake, to be realistic.
Audience Advisory: Some course language.

A sobering cry for help against the stereotypes that silence hurting people, when in reality, the messiness of life it not picky with who she chooses. Based on true stories, the authentic and raw nature of this monologue-driven play will leave you surprised at who is staring back.
