In Memory Of at Spark Plug Theatre Collective

In Memory Of, written by Alyssa Cokinis and presented by Spark Plug Theatre Collective, is set in a post-civil war United States where lawmakers have enacted the Memory Currency Act, requiring citizens to pay with memories instead of money. The play follows Vale, who has returned to the U.S. after living abroad and is navigating grief, displacement, and the cost of survival under a surveillance state. The story explores themes of queerness, identity, resistance, and collective action, while raising questions about who owns our memories and what it means to remain human in a transactional world. Performed in the intimate setting of Ki Coffee in Beaverton, Oregon, the production runs approximately 90-95 minutes.
