We are thrilled to invite you all to And This Is Where We written by Iz Gonzalez and directed by Yev Gelman. We hope you can join us for the playwriting thesis of the Spring 2023 Studio Season.

Inner Child Under the Sun (IS-US) is a two-week Big Brother-like, sleepaway summer camp, where young adults are paired up with children to engage in typical summer camp activities like arts and crafts, rock climbing and hiking. While the young adult or “Core” is meant to reconnect with their inner child, they also serve as a mentor for the “Child” partner. When Alex, a jobless college graduate, is chosen as one of the Cores, he doesn’t expect to lose track of time & memory with a kid that seems eerily familiar. The lovechild of Midsommar, Get Out, and The Sixth Sense, AND THIS IS WHERE WE is a psychological dramedy that invites you to question what makes us become who we are and what we leave behind.
