An existential sitcom about codependency and stagnation, I'M MISERABLE BUT CHANGE SCARES ME explores the ways we use language to use each other. At times raucously quirky, at times startlingly tragic, I'M MISERABLE magnifies multiple elements of relationships. It's a play about lies, truths, and misunderstandings. The characters weave through performances of self as they address issues of love, fear, and designer denim. Baby would rather have a neardeath allergic reaction than a semiawkward lunchtime chat, Mom and Dad get divorced but still live together and are still married. Pigman and Dog switch names, wardrobes, and personalities back and forth until they can't keep track. Featuring rapid confessional dialogue and choreography that alternates between the hypercolloquial and the ritualistic, I'M MISERABLE BUT CHANGE SCARES ME is a grotesque and whimsical family circus.
"The play is a little absurd, a little avantgarde, a little funny, and it might make you a little uncomfortable - in a good way." Sophie Gandler, Unveiled Arts.
