Lake Effect Presented at The Tank as part of Femme/Non-binary Limefest

Lake Effect is set to premier at The Tank’s Limefest, a celebration of new works by female and non-binary artists. The performance is August 8th at 9:30 PM (312 W 36th Street, New York City). Lake Effect is a sharp, darkly funny two-hander about siblings Ari and Shana, stuck in a cabin and inside each other’s minds across time. Jumping between childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, their relationship is messy, obsessive, and electric; they love each other deeply, hurt each other constantly, and can’t seem to let go. As identity, trauma, sex, and family tension collide, their bond starts to feel less like home and more like a storm they’re trapped inside. Lake Effect was originally developed and workshopped at Columbia University as part of the renowned MFA program, under the guidance of Lynn Nottage, Charles Mee, David Henry Hwang, Leslie Ayvazian, and James Iljames. Lake Effect is written by Lee Folpe, directed by Emerson Haven, and performed by Tom Phelan and Maria Mohajir.
