Surfer Girl, the fourth installment of Leslye Headland’s Seven Deadly Plays series presented by the IAMA Theater Company, is a poignant and witty monologue featuring a powerful performance from Sarah Utterback (Grey’s Anatomy). The play explores the sin of sloth through an intimate look at the personal struggle between avoiding responsibility and longing for home. Reunited with an estranged sibling, a prodigal couch-surfer recounts her misadventures surviving off the hospitality of others. Reliving her years of dependence, she confronts the tragic results of infiltrating other people’s lives rather than creating her own.
