Flipzoids

Flipzoids is a funny and highly moving story about three Filipinos navigating through the shifting landscapes of home, desire and loneliness. Set on a deserted beach in Southern California, the play examines what it means to be an outsider. Redford is a 20-something kid that hangs out at beachside restrooms searching for connections; Vangie is a nurse who memorizes the dictionary to sound more American; Aying, Vangie’s mother, struggles with understanding a daughter to whom she has become an embarrassment. Together, they search to understand what it means to be Filipino and/or American – to be a hybrid.
