Through the lens of her cynical, sardonic worldview, Kira Wallace explores the rising phenomenon of "gifted kid burnout." Her show explores the impact of being told that she was better than everyone else — before she even knew who she was. She thought she could beat death. Then, a bunch of her friends died. Now, she’s starting to think she might be human. Across the play’s three acts, Kira dissects her internal power struggle between a maladaptive desire for control and the intrinsic need for human connection. Ultimately embracing the inherent uncertainty of life, Kira abandons the pretense of performance in an unscripted conclusion, subjecting herself to scrutiny in a deliberate assertion of her own humanity. In advance of its world premiere at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, Unwrapped — Kira’s debut as a playwright — has already been honored as a semifinalist in the prestigious Blank Theatre’s Young Playwrights Festival.
