Passage

I had the wonderful opportunity to write a play for and act in The Virginia Players Lab Series production of Passage, a series of short plays about womanhood. I wrote the first play in the series, The Waiting Room, and acted as Eleanor in the final play in the series, Delayed Departure.

A detailed description of Passage is as follows:
Passage, directed by fourth-year UVA student Angel Lin, presents three playwrights’ perspectives on inter-women and inner-women relationships. Each piece is an exhibition of the human experience as it is understood through the lens of womanhood.

Opening the show, the audience is greeted with the kindness of strangers in Mary Logan Hall’s The Waiting Room where Violet, a young woman facing the uncertain future of an unplanned pregnancy, finds comfort in a new friend, Lily. The show continues by exploring the intersection of grief and identity in Megan Wenig’s Framed Futures, where Eliza finds herself confronted by her younger self, Lizzy, in light of her grandmother’s passing. In Angel Lin’s Delayed Departure, the show continues to consider the nature of grief, loss, and moving forward while suspended in time. This production is also an experiment in expressionism. Reality devolves bit by bit, shifting from Hall’s realism to Wenig’s dreamlike state and stranding us in Lin’s surrealism.
