The podcast will premiere on Thursday, December 3, 2020!
MCC Theater in association with The Parsnip Ship and Business Lunch Productions will present This Is Where We Go by Amara J. Brady (Last Ones First), Jessie Rivera DeBruin (Luciérnagas), Gina Femia (Allond(r)a), and Nina Ki (Taemong (Birth Dream)). Directed by Tamilla Woodard (Where We Stand), the six-part radio play podcast will premiere on Thursday, December 3, 2020.
Developed with The Parsnip Ship's Radio Roots Writers Group, MCC's first commission takes a closer look at the different ways that theater can be created and produced. This Is Where We Go was inspired by the Octavia Butler quote from "Parable of the Sower."
"All that you touch
You Change.
All that you Change
Changes you.
The only lasting truth
Is Change.
God is Change."
A future built on commodity and access is altered forever with the disappearance of its main life force. With the fate of the universe rocked by change, four strangers find the answer to survival in each other. Four strangers, four paths, one destination.
The cast of This Is Where We Go will include Brady, Garcia ("Tales of the City"), Teresa Avia Lim (JUNK), Bunny Michael ("High Maintenance"), Lindsay Rico (Fefu and Her Friends), and Danny Wolohan (West Side Story).
This Is Where We Go features sound design by Sadah Espii Proctor, Rachel Brees, and Emilie Weibel, and dramaturgy by Gabriella Steinberg and Al Parker.
The first two acts of This Is Where We Go will be released on Thursday, December 3, 2020, with the subsequent four acts released on the following Tuesdays and Thursdays through December 17.
