STEP ON ME: STACY & HER SCALE To Premiere At Denver Fringe Festival And Junkyard Social Club
New play by Lisa Wagner Erickson will debut in Denver and Boulder.
Cypherbird Projects will present the world premiere of STEP ON ME: STACY & HER SCALE, A CAUTIONARY TALE by Lisa Wagner Erickson, with performances scheduled during the first weekend of June at the Denver Fringe Festival and June 14 at Junkyard Social Club in Boulder, Colorado.
Directed by Em Perez, the production will feature John-Christian Maheu and Veronica Straight-Lingo. The play is based on Erickson’s short work, which was previously described by the Boston Globe as “a hilarious play that toys with one woman's obsession with her bathroom scale.”
The story follows an aspiring influencer navigating an increasingly surreal relationship with her bathroom scale, blending physical comedy, music, and stylized movement. As the character’s fixation intensifies, the piece examines themes of control, identity, and self-perception.
Maheu and Straight-Lingo previously performed the short version of the play at Meow Wolf, where they received a Best Cast award as part of a Cheeky Monkey Productions event.
