The VORTEX Summer Youth Theatre proudly presents the world premiere of a new play: Jinkies! or The (currently) Untitled Dog Play by Josiah Thomas Turner.
When a gang of meddling mystery-solvers is reunited after a botched case, can they overcome their differences for one last hurrah? Jinkies! takes a beloved cultural juggernaut and re-envisions it with modern themes and characters that reflect our diverse society. This campy, Scooby Doo-style whodunnit about a spree of local kidnappings is infused with political commentary on gentrification and corruption; race, class, and power; intersectional feminism; justice reform; and environmentalism.
Alongside a healthy dose of nostalgia, this play asks: What does community healing look like? How much do our actions (or inactions) define us? How do you move forward after making a tragic mistake? At its heart, Jinkies! is a story about growing up, confronting hard truths, and accepting the uncertainties that life throws our way.
