Regarding the Disappearance of Amy


Regarding the Disappearance of Amy is a new play by young playwright Idalia Basterra, directed by award-winning director Kyle Pleasant, and produced by Eduardo Jimenez Pons.

Amy Ginart, a high school student, has mysteriously disappeared.  As part of the ongoing investigation, the police interrogate Amy’s acquaintances. The inquiries help each member of the audience form a unique image of who Amy is and shed light into who may be responsible for her disappearance.

This play explores the power of perception and how stereotypes and memory shift the way we see the world, all wrapped up in an engaging mystery.
