W.A.D.Presents: full-length play Incel Vanya, written by 3-time W.A.D. 'Best Writer' Winner, Duncan Pflaster. Starring Matt Biagini*, Melissa Canaday*, Tyler Gardella*, Abigail Espinal, Malena Sadaka, Natasha Zumar, and Josephine Pizzino. Co-Directed by W.A.D. Producer Eric Hedlund and Ciara Berardi
A modern adaptation of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, where the titular character John Blackwood (Matt Biagini*) is part of the toxic Incel movement, with a Twitch stream to tell people about it. He's also an aspiring rapper. His 17-year-old niece Alice (Abigail Espinal) is just coming into her own as a trans woman, and has a crush on Mikey(Tyler Gardella), the local doctor. John's famous romance novelist sister-in-law Joy(Melissa Canaday*)has come to visit with her wife Selena (Malena Sadaka), on whom John and Mikey have crushes. No one is really happy.
