EXPECTATIONS premiered in May 2021 as part of Short+Sweet Sydney Theatre 2021. 

Best Life by Melisa Tien
Directed by Susanna Jaramillo

If you could turn back time, what would you do differently? In this absurdly funny and unsettling new play, Lourdes, a woman of color aiming to get free, can rewind time—but only within the last five minutes. At a café, she meets Sheryl, a wealthy white woman with heartfelt yet deeply misguided intentions. As they talk, Lourdes keeps rewinding time in an attempt to have the ‘right’ conversation with Sheryl. Soon, the forces of social responsibility, public allyship, and private guilt creep their way into the exchange.

Location: JACK, 20 Putnam Ave in Brooklyn, NY. C or G train to Clinton-Washington. Shuttle to Franklin Ave.

Director’s Statement: Amy Losi’s courageous play, "No Fall My Hand," is a statement about the effects of domestic abuse. In many instances victims hide their abuse and "say nothing or do nothing." The two characters transcend their pain to develop a sense of empowerment when they share their experiences with each other.  -- Joan Kane, Director
