#FringeFemmes Check-Ins: S-27

by Thea Pueschel

Quick peeks at #HFF26’s “Women on the Fringe” by Fringe Femmes who are behind the scenes this year. Click Here for all Check-Ins

WHO: Sarah Grochala

WHAT: S-27

WHERE: The Hobgoblin Playhouse on Gardner, 1516 N. Gardner St.

WHY: What happens when the cause you fought for to make a more equitable world is as corrupt as the system you abandoned? Processing center photographer May (Chiamaka Ikwuezunma) is about to find out. The organization has demands, and if they are not met, she’ll find herself on the other end of the camera. Her guilt haunts her, and she begins to see the people she is processing as human. Her enforcer, June (Anne Peyton Brothers), constantly questions her commitment to the organization. Sarah Grochala’s ensemble piece moves through vignettes, monologues and a minimalist aesthetic. She has crafted a raw and caustic dystopian tale that could happen anywhere.
