Trash

TRASH
BY ANDREW MORRILL & JAMES CAVERLY

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.

Directed by Michelle Banks

Trash is a part of JACK Labs, a new series designed to incubate theatrical work. We at JACK see it as an opportunity for playwrights to advance their play past the "workshop" phase, but without the pressure of a multi-week run.

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