"Omniphobia" hits the boards
this October!
A wickedly funny and razor-sharp look at fear in modern society, world premiere play OMNIPHOBIA tells the story of a day in the life of Emily, a college professor desperately trying to navigate her worries in an increasingly chaotic society. An
ensemble of seven plays a variety of zany roles in a plethora of scenes and transitions that tell the tale of a world gone crazy with fear!
OMNIPHOBIA is a fast-paced, hilarious yet chilling tour through the human psyche!
The cast includes Gusta Johnson as Emily, a beleaguered environmental sciences professor just trying to get through a day in a world obsessed by fear-driven thoughts, images, words, and actions.
The rest of the cast - Elizabeth Chasse, Tim Dugan, Emily Grotz, Bob Pettee, Linda Shary, Ashanti Williams, and Collin Young - plays multiple roles, such as
allegorical characters Worry and Dread inhabiting the Forest of Fears, upended fairy tale folk like Chicken Little and the Boy Who Cried Wolf, backstabbing ultra-competitive students, helicopter and no-rescue parents, panicked and xenophobic churchgoers, frenzied and unstable politicians, absurdly unctuous merchants peddling preposterous fear-based wares, even a "neo-druid."
OMNIPHOBIA explores the rocky terrain of existential anxiety and looks for hope in the midst of modern turmoil.
Get your amygdala ready for some fun!
