In a near-future teetering on the edge of climate catastrophe, Great Bends tells the story of three friends and former activists navigating the complexities of life, loss, and an uncertain future. Set against the backdrop of relentless flooding in their hometown of Great Bend, Kansas, the play delves into the personal impact of climate change and the ways it reshapes relationships, dreams, and identities.Great Bends is an immersive dinner theatre play, produced by Floorwork Arts Collective in West Philly for the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. Tickets include a 3 course dinner and a show.
Exploring urgent themes of climate uncertainty, the weight of birth and loss, and the tension between personal choices and global crises, they confront the scars left by natural disasters, rekindle old bonds, and grapple with decisions that shape their futures in an unstable world.
Great Bends will premiere as an immersive dinner theatre. Every ticket invites you to join these friends in a homecooked meal provided by Floorwork Arts Collective. Please note given the nature of this show, we will be unable to accommodate any dietary restrictions. Please email [email protected] with questions.
