Pay UpPig Iron, 2005-2013
WRITER & SOUND DESIGNER
Part circus, part laboratory experiment, part shopping experience, Pay Up is an environmental work, a warehouse of unusual commerce consisting of eight “chamber pieces” about handling cash. By forcing its audience to make hard choices about what to see and when, Pay Up interrogates the ways we spend (or waste) money, and more importantly, the ways we spend (or waste) time. Barrymore Award Nominated for Best New Play, 2006.
