“La MaMa presents the world premiere of Take Me To Dollywood, a production by The Fool Volk. A new full-length collage of scenes and experiments with a queer southern twang. On a porch in the south, a faceless Dolly Parton haunts the stage as characters find themselves on the edge of relationships, sexuality, and reality. A woman has eaten her hand, a sexy gummy bear awaits certain death, two men meet for a hook-up, a boss rummages through his employees’ desks, and the playwright details his sex life.”

“Lovers of the Good follows Jason, a fledgling youth pastor in suburban North Carolina who dreams of one day planting a church of his own. When a member of his youth group comes out as nonbinary, Jason finds himself caught between the derisive church elders and the charismatic trans father of the kid’s best friend from school. Lovers of the Good is a play about deconstruction, desire, the questions we’re too afraid to ask ourselves and each other, and what happens when the values we were raised to adhere to all come crashing down around us. It’s also kind of about the rapture.”

“A weary delivery driver with months to live saves a brilliant but troubled teenage girl. The two form an unlikely, life-changing bond that teaches them both what it truly means to live.”
