Written by Alexander Perez and directed by Toney Brown, Randy's Dandy Coaster Castle takes the audience on a thrill ride ... through a normal work week.
Set at a rundown amusement park in the Florida panhandle, this dark comedy sends the audience on a roller coaster ride of low wage labor power dynamics, sociopolitical perspectives and assimilation of multi-generational immigrants, and the concept of care within the "non-blood" family.
The production features Susana Montoya Quinchia, Paula Aliya, Teagan Kazia, Nate Betancourt, and Alexander Perez.
