The One With Fascism
Written by Kate Jaeger
Directed by TBA
Apr 1 - 17, 2027
Same friends. Same bar. Different country.
Six college friends meet at a too-fancy bar in January 2025 to toast Avery's accidental new job. One drinking game later, a secret is out and the group is in pieces. Fifteen months on, a text calls them back: all hands on deck. A funny, frightening new play by Kate Jaeger about friendship and what we owe each other.
Written like a sitcom until it isn't, The One With Fascism is a world premiere about the people we choose, the news we try to tune out, and showing up when it counts.
The One With Fascism takes a direct view of the then and now of our lives and explores how we write the record of our lives and relationships
