THE KIDS MIGHT DIE (a tale told by an idiot)
WINNER of the NEW ZEALAND EXCHANGE "TOUR READY" AWARD from the 2024 San Diego
Fringe Festival.
The kids of Little Stars Youth Theatre are excited
to bring you their production of Macbeth. But when an emergency broadcast
announces the incoming end of the world, the young cast evacuates, leaving
only their director behind. The show must go on... right? This comedic
solo piece explores the paradox of live performance in a seemingly doomed
world. As Jill attempts to save the show, it devolves into an anxiety
spiral on death and identity, featuring audience interaction, an epic
guitar solo, and Heelys.
“Jill is a phenomenal, mesmerizing
performer, equally spectacular at writing, improvisation, comedy,
clowning, and audience interaction.” - Laura Scruggs, Playwright
“Hilarious
in both concept and execution, with a light dusting of existential dread,
you’ve got to make sure you see this.” - Drew Petriello, Playwright

scared of something that was outside of their control, so mostly everyone.

feels like its ending.
