Trash
By James Caverly & Andrew Morrill
April 28 - 30, 2022
Tim and Jake may be Deaf roommates sharing an apartment in the city, but they are polar opposites — each with very different worldviews on what it means to be Deaf in a hearing world. When it comes to taking out the trash, they take a comical and insightful dive into their trash and their perceptions of each other’s lives.
