Writer-performer Sam Jae calls his play “the funniest show about death you’ve ever seen!” Sam can do this because he’s a comedy professional, experienced in comedy writing, stand-up and sketch performance.
My Dead Dad is a memoir of Sam’s complicated but loving relationship with his dad. Dad was boldly assertive, sports-obsessed and macho. Sam was the opposite: unathletic, husky (okay, fat), but eager to please his Dad.
Dad passes when Sam is fifteen, and the loss will inform Sam’s life for years to come. A letter that Sam finds from his father will affect Sam’s perspective on things in unexpected and surprising ways.
Ana-Maria Stojic directs.
