their dog. But when a birthday wish magically transforms them in a
way they never expected, things are going to get lit at the local
high school. Around 2 (4m, 6f) On the night of the 2016
presidential election, a high school government club gathers to
watch the results come in. Evelyn, the club president, must make a
difficult choice. As the night wears on and the winner becomes
clear, the students struggle to understand what is happening
between them and across the country. The Caribbean Queen (13m or f)
Parents are lame. Vacations are lame. Vacations with parents...I

An absurdist comedy and fifteenth winner of the Yale Drama Prize,
exploring family, religion, identity, desire, and beauty in Korean
American culture  In a fantastical fairy-tale world, two
Korean American sisters are deemed too fat to fit in their family
grave. Will the sisters’ close bond survive under the pressure of
their community and fretful parents, who will spare no effort to
make them tinier? Â Jar of Fat, the fifteenth winner of the
Yale Drama Prize, is a phantasmagorical, absurdist Korean American
tale about the allure and danger entangled within the quest for
beauty and thinness. Both laugh-out-loud funny and deeply
troubling, Seayoung Yim’s play burns through the accumulated rage
that anti-fat bias produces to reclaim what it steals from us every
day: grace, space, possibility, and breath.
