Director's Note

The question of the meaning of life constantly looms in the back of all our minds. This play depicts the reality of life, the life-altering experiences that we all share, the ones that play out like a game of Bingo where everything is left up to fate: where you were born, how you grew up, and what kinds of relationships you build. In dramatically different ways, we all experience the same things, and we all share the same fate; this connects us all. We all have a path in this life. The circle of life is not always smooth. It’s complex; it has layers, but we all share this Earth and go through things that shape who we are. Whether self-preservation in the afterlife or genuinely caring about connecting with others in this life is your motivation, we are lucky that we are given the choice to be kind to one another. We all make mistakes, but we never truly know what consequences they may have until it is too late. Therefore, it is always important to be kind, understanding, and forgiving. We are lucky that all our paths are crossing at this moment to share a story, a journey, that teaches us the importance of truly caring for one another and empathizing with the impactful events that happen to everyone around us.
