Spoons at The Studio Theatre at 520 8th Ave

Soleil Theater Productions, in conjunction with Alba Technique, presents Spoons by Ben Firke, Directed by Patricia Angelin. It’s the summer of 2016, and the gig economy has commodified everything in Brooklyn, including intimacy. Brad (Played by Tosh Arora), a sportswriter struggling with social anxiety, retains the services of Molly (played by Avery Knudson), a professional cuddler with a wry bedside manner. As the two form a fragile bond over the course of their sessions, they begin to struggle with their self-imposed boundaries and their preconceived ideas about what a friendship really is. A meditation on loneliness, recovery, and trust, Spoons takes a deep dive into the chaos of seeking companionship in our lonely age. We hope to see you there!
