Climb inside Aaron's head where all his memories are shuffled like songs in a playlist. Dance through these memories as he reflects on his rocky romance with Wes and searches for the right words to say. Told in a series of non-chronological vignettes that scan memories both real and invented, LAST DITCH PLAYLIST is a modern mixtape eulogizing love lost and found.

LAST DITCH PLAYLIST will also be presented at the 2017 FringeArts Festival from September 12th - 15th 2017 at the Performance Garage in Philadelphia. http://fringearts.com/event/last-ditch-playlist.
