our dear dead drug lord
“Four top-notch performances and a memorable debut from a playwright whose risk-taking talent is something to keep an eye on. Our Dear Dead Drug Lord should make your list of plays to see this season.” - THEATERMANIA
In this fierce and feverish world premiere comedy from WP Theater and Second Stage, a gang of teenage girls gathers in an abandoned tree house to summon the ghost of Pablo Escobar. Are they messing with the actual spirit of the infamous cartel kingpin? Or are they really just messing with each other? A roller coaster ride through the danger and damage of girlhood – the teenage wasteland has never been so much twisted fun.
Breakout playwright Alexis Scheer joins forces with director Whitney White and a cast including Carmen Berkeley, Alyssa May Gold, Rebecca Jimenez and Malika Samuel.
“Our Dear Dead Drug Lord isn't for the faint of heart, but neither is coming of age.” - RAVEN SNOOK, TIME OUT
