LAFPI

an immersive corporate satire solo show
written and performed by Emma Irene Olson
directed by Maura Mannle
developed in Playing Yourself, The Elysian Theater’s solo show devising workshop, led by Jacquelyn Landgraf.

Space Company is about a massive fictional corporation that doesn’t consider itself to be just a company, but also a family that is determined to be “The Best In The Universe” through constant innovation, constant growth, and constant profitability.

Emma Irene plays “Mom”, a middle manager at Space Company welcoming the audience (now cast as the latest cohort of new hires: “Babygirls”) to their new career and their new family on their first day … but it’s not a typical first day at Space Company. Mom begins to experience strange auras that interrupt her orientation presentation, and an escalation of strategic changes coming from Space Company leadership will change the Space Company family forever.

Together, Mom and her new Babygirls will answer the ever-present Space Company Canonical Question (CQ): “What do we do after we destroy that?”
