In a world where you are inherently seen as less-than, what kind of justice is possible? How can you ever be seen as funny when you’re not really seen as a person? Final Boarding Callįeaturing Ya Han Chang, Will Dao, Abbey George, Rohan Kymal, Lou Liberatore, Sarah Lo, Barbie Wu and Mike Yangįinal Boarding Call tells the stories of the most recent Hong Kong protests. When the event goes public, the court is divided, and as Carl makes half-hearted non-apologies, Jane still can’t get onstage – until she and Anne have finally had enough. But Carl the Funny One has a degree of power, and an interest in Jane: which he uses to put her in a humiliating and upsetting situation. Despite the support of her friend Anne Boleyn, Jane can’t break into the boys club of Tudor nightly entertainment – King Henry would rather see acts like Carl the Funny One, who makes wry observations about contemporary life, but who also is known to publicly masturbate.
But she is struggling even to get stage time in the court of King Henry VIII, in 1533. The project was recently launched and has already received development from the Notre Dame Shakespeare Festival, Wayne State University, and the Hudson Valley Performing Arts Laboratory.įeaturing Alton Alburo, Ryan Vincent Anderson, Maki Borden, Matthew Bovee, Allison Buck, Ugo Chukwu, Lindsley Howard, Amy Jo Jackson, Jessica MossĪll Jane wants is to perform comedy.
