HOW IT WORKS
It's a weird summer. Megan will come to your house and perform the show for you and, if you wish, a small group of your vaccinated friends. Or just you.
Email Megan to arrange a time.
Go outside. Decide where you want to sit. Maybe we could sit in a circle? Wear masks if you wish. Megan will wear a mask upon request.
Megan will show up, probably with a friend. She will start the show.
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
It's about twenty minutes.
It's about how the pandemic is supposedly over and we're all supposed to be having this great time, and some of us aren't. It's about grief. It's about joy. It's about resilience.
WHO IS IT FOR?
You, and whoever you want to include; the show works best with a small group, not a big crowd. Kids are welcome.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS?
Uncertain.
We're all going to breathe on each other. Is that okay?
WHAT DOES IT COST?
Suggested donation is ten dollars per audience member.
If you can't pay that, you can pay attention.

DID YOU SEE THE TETHER?
It's kind of like that.
When the pandemic began, Megan did a site-specific show called The Tether: A Pandemic Play. You can read about it and see archival footage here.
Do you need to have seen The Tether to see The Break? No. This is a whole other thing.
RSVP
Contact Megan to arrange a time to see the performance.
Iowa City area only, unless you're willing to pay a lot more money.
