“Set against the crowded midways, roller coasters, and communal chaos of an amusement park, the musical explores individual lives unfolding amid the masses. Told through a series of distinct human portraits, A Day in Funland examines the unseen weight carried by the people sharing the park and the experiences that connect them.
The cast will feature Lynn Boyaji, Tanner Essex, Meg Gallo, Zoe Jarrett, Sophia Kelley, Olivia Mathis, Logan Melick, Chase Partin, Lila Pfefferle, Landon Priess and Anna Seitz.”

“Steps is an absolutely beautiful play exploring friendship, growing up, family, and the insurmountable weight of guilt. Written by Olivia Mathis and Zoë Parrish, this show interweaves raw emotions, vulnerability, and the hauntings of past trauma and experiences.
Alternating between flashbacks and the present, Margot relives and watches her younger self (Olivia Mathis), beginning on the day Grace (Abby Arkin) and her father move in.
“Steps” is a heartfelt, brilliantly acted, unique exploration of grief, guilt, blame, acceptance, and the ever-present “what ifs” in life. Very well done. I decree 5 out of 5 stars.”
