About this Event
Check Us Out! The Torch Ensemble is a new theater company started by Padraig Bond, Penelope Deen, Luis Feliciano, Kristen Hoffman, and Tibor Lazar. The five of us met as theatre majors at Hunter College, a public university in New York City. Our mission is to premiere two of Padraig’s original plays, The Trash Garden and Debating Extinction, at the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival this August. We have already been accepted into the festival, and have been offered fifteen performances at Greenside Venues, one of Edinburgh’s central theaters! We need your help to bring us there. The Edinburgh Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world, and we are using it as a jumpstart to our five careers like many artists have done before us, from Phoebe Waller-Bridge to Robin Williams to John Cleese to Alan Rickman.
The Trash Garden
a new play by Padraig Bond
directed by Padraig Bond
starring Luis Feliciano, Kristen Hoffman, and Tibor Lazar
The Trash Garden is an environmentalist comedy inverting Adam and Eve, and introducing us to the last two people left on Earth after climate change, Atlas and Evelyn. Trapped together in dystopia, they explore the meaning of their lives together through imagination, play, and reminiscences of the past. It is a play about human resilience, love and hate, isolation and friendship, environmental collapse, and of course, recycling.
Debating Extinction
a new play by Padraig Bond
directed by Padraig Bond
starring Penelope Deen, Kristen Hoffman, and Tibor Lazar
Debating Extinction is a bold romance about the modern question of whether or not to have children in the face of the climate crisis. Susan and Teddy are young lovers living post climate change, and are preparing to have a child to restart humanity, but they must keep it secret from Susan’s tyrannical, yet deeply environmentalist mother. It is a play about the future, about love and death, environmental collapse, and the spirit and true nature of humanity.
