Becoming the Truth and Nightmaretime

Fri, Mar 22 – Sat, Mar 23 · 7:30pm–9:30pm PT

Hosted by Your Friends' Basement Theater Company | Key Collaborator: Decentered Arts

Your Friends' Basement Theater Company returned with a thrilling double feature: two one-act dramatic plays by the brilliant playwright Emily Elyse Everett. Guests gathered for a night of terror, heartbreak, and intense drama at Uzay Gallery—grateful for the event space, though forever basement people at heart.

The performances began promptly at 7:30pm, with doors opening at 7:00pm. The evening featured two shows, each around 30 minutes, with a brief transition between them, totaling about 65 minutes.

Nightmaretime

Directed by Natalie Lista

Cast: Alison White, Andre Hessini, Cameron McCallie, Caroline Willian, Chloe Coultrip, Chris Lowrie, Emily Bender, Lauren Gifford, Mo Rahman, Theory Song, and Violet Trachtenberg

Becoming the Truth

Directed by Violet Trachtenberg

Cast: Andre Hessini, Chloe Coultrip, Emily Miller, Grant Bremer, Natalie Lista, Sara Saavedra, and Theory Song

The plays bravely explored intense themes, including obsessive-compulsive thinking, disordered eating, psychological abuse, suicidal thoughts, psychiatric hospitalization, surgical violence, and sexual activity, with an emotional tone similar to a PG-13 experience.
