It's hard to be the New Guy in the world's most generic office. It's even harder to be the New Guy when you're the New Guy because you came out as transgender. And has anybody noticed that the boss is a Big Furry Monster? OH, BUDDY is a dark, absurdist comedy about how the bizarre demands of binary gender affect the way we take on roles in the workplace and beyond.
The production team includes Oskar Westbridge (Stage Manager and Sound Designer), Grace Herman (Associate Director), Finnegan Chu (Costume Designer), Karen Wallace (Lighting Designer), Saskia Baker (Puppet Design), Jeremy Ohringer/David Lovejoy (Set Designers), Aidan McGuire (Dramaturg), and Genevieve Corkery, David Lovejoy, Forest Walden, and James Wheeler (Understudies).
