Living together is one thing. Understanding each other? That can get messy.  Tim and Jake are Deaf roommates sharing an apartment in the city—but not much else. They’re polar opposites, each with very different views on what it means to be Deaf in a hearing world. When it comes to taking out the trash, they spiral into a comic and insightful examination of their personal garbage and their perceptions of each other’s lives. 

Performed almost exclusively in ASL (American Sign Language), Trash employs surprising theatrical devices that allow all audiences to understand the play (and each other) in profoundly new ways. 

Previously developed at JACK NY, IRT, and most recently in 2024, Out of the Box Theatrics' Building the Box program.
