Audience members shape the fate of the main character in this interactive dramedy with alternate endings. Written, performed, and produced by first-time show creator Michelle Nguyen, the semi-autobiographical piece follows the imaginary friends of a young girl named Robin during childhood adventures in the woods. What begins as fun and games escalates into moral dilemmas exploring care, guilt, loss, and how the past shapes the adults of the future. The production marks Michelle Nguyen's debut as playwright and performer under her new company Moonsquid Nights, alongside co-producer and director Clark Levi and voice actor Cat Nguyen, presented as part of the Cannonball Hub of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival.
