Halo has been knocked down: she recently got out of a terrible marriage and quit her dead-end job two weeks short of getting unemployment after her boss sexually harassed her. Her life changes when she meets Gina, a trainer at the local MMA gym. As Halo begins to train, her inner warrior emerges, complicating her relationships with her mother and sister and challenging her image of herself. Defunkt's own Paul Angelo directs the West Coast Premiere of this extraordinary new play by Stephen Spotswood (In the Forest, She Grew Fangs).

Defunkt's Production of Girl in the Red Corner is produced with support from the Regional Arts and Culture Council

Girl in the Red Corner was the recipient of the James MacArthur Award for Best New Play or Musical at the 2017 Helen Hayes Awards.
