I'M MISERABLE BUT CHANGE SCARES ME Begins 3/20 at The Brick Theater

By:

I'M MISERABLE BUT CHANGE SCARES ME will run March 20-22 & 2-­29 at 8pm, March 23 at 3pm & 8pm at The Brick Theater, 579 Metropolitan Ave, Williamsburg. Tickets $20, to order, visit bricktheater.com.

An existential sitcom about co­dependency and stagnation, I'M MISERABLE BUT CHANGE SCARES ME explores the ways we use language to use each other. At times raucously quirky, at times startlingly tragic, I'M MISERABLE magnifies multiple elements of relationships. It's a play about lies, truths, and misunderstandings. The characters weave through performances of self as they address issues of love, fear, and designer denim. Baby would rather have a near­death allergic reaction than a semi­awkward lunchtime chat, Mom and Dad get divorced but still live together and are still married. Pigman and Dog switch names, wardrobes, and personalities back and forth until they can't keep track. Featuring rapid confessional dialogue and choreography that alternates between the hyper­colloquial and the ritualistic, I'M MISERABLE BUT CHANGE SCARES ME is a grotesque and whimsical family circus.

"The play is a little absurd, a little avant­garde, a little funny, and it might make you a little uncomfortable - in a good way." ­ Sophie Gandler, Unveiled Arts.

I'M MISERABLE BUT CHANGE SCARES ME is written by Milo Cramer, directed by Morgan Green, with choreography by Philip Berezney, in a production by New Saloon. Featuring: Madeline Wise, Annie Tippe, Ronald Peet, Maxwell Cosmo Cramer, Keilly McQuail, Evan William Smith, and Lucy Kaminsky. Sets by Schuyler Burks, Lights by Marika Kent, Sound by Matt Otto, Costumes by Isabelle Coler.
