Show Synopsis: In EAT THE RUNT, we follow Merritt, an applicant for a grant writing position at a major art museum, who must meet and win over all the museum's eccentric staff in the interview process—where the hilarious and unexpected is bound to happen. In this play, written with no gender pronouns, all of the actors learn all of the roles, and the audience casts the show every night. With over 40,000 possible combinations, every performance will shed new light on each of the characters and relationships. What defines a character's identity, when there is the possibility of any gender, age, or race can play the role? Cultural stereotyping one night may become sexual harassment the next. It’s never the same show twice.
