Body Awareness
by Annie Baker
6-23 February 2019
Director: Kris Weber
Production Coordinator: Emma Hunt
Psychology professor, Phyllis, is deep into her project Body Awareness Week at the local college. She and her partner, high school teacher Joyce, share their home with Phyllis’ son, Jared. He - a self-proclaimed autodidact who works at McDonalds – is adamant he does not have Asperger’s Syndrome.
When photographer Frank becomes a houseguest, Phyllis is offended by his artistic photos of nude women and when Joyce decides to pose for him, tensions build.
Both poignant and witty, it is that rare gem. A play about issues that isn’t an “issues play.”
There is no interval, play runs approximately 90 minutes
