For this play about grappling with identity, I wanted to create an overwhelming crush of messages from all sides that combine to create who we are. To do this, I sourced snippets of sound from the year the play was written, the year it was first produced, the year of our current production, callouts to every film or song referenced in the play, and things suggested by my collaborators in rehearsal and crammed them all into the medium of a channel surfing AM radio.
