nocturing; or Wayward Are Such Dreams, june 2021
a new play for zoom by joey santia
benefitting the safe passage project
Set on the side of I-80—and travelling through landscapes, video games, and puppet theatres—nocturning; or Wayward Are Such Dreams is a play about the weird dreams you had this year. As four people realize they’re trapped in a world that is more dangerous than they imagined, they have to figure out how to survive. What do you do when you’re stuck in a dream that knows you better than you know it?
nocturning will be performed live in a zoom webinar, and runs for one hour. nocturning is recommended for audiences ages 13 and up.
This event was also part of New Sanctuary Coalition’s 246 for 2021 campaign.

remote - a new play for zoom by joey santia
benefitting the stonewall community foundation
Set in the year 2059, remote is a play told in eight vignettes that explores a world that is totally dependent on Zoom, creating the conditions for an Amazon global monopoly, pay-for-friendship services, and an annual tradition of E-Lympics. But underneath the grayness of isolation, something more sinister is taking shape, as the connective tissue of a stranded world stretches to its breaking point.
