    TRAILER: Unplanned Obsolescence

    Machines break. So do people. Both can be replaced. Jax is a failing children's performer who has just received some bad news: there's a 50% chance that they're about to die. Their wife begs them to take it seriously, but Jax believes that one of their best qualities is never taking anything seriously for their whole life. Unable to cope with the prospect of their own death, they train a household robot to replace them in hopes that their wife won't notice when they're gone. With two coin flips that determine the course of the play, this performance has four different iterations. There's a 50% chance it will end in tragedy. Written by Alex Kingsley. Performed by Grace Griego, Jaymes Rodriguez, and Alex Kingsley. Presented by Cannonball Festival. Hosted at Fidget. Performances dates: FREE preview at The Deep End August 26, 8:00pm September 4, 9:30pm September 6, 8:00pm September 9, 7:00pm For more information, visit unplannedobsolescenceplay.wordpress.com
