I Hope You Had the BRUNCH of Your Life

As we prepare to bid farewell to another group of Youngblood Graduates, we must ask, how do you measure a BRUNCH? In pancakes, in bacon, in muffins, in cups of coffee?  While it’s never goodbye, this month’s BRUNCH writers are saying farewell for now with a heaping helping of BRUNCH we’ll surely never forget.

Join us the first Sunday in November for new short plays by recently graduated Youngblood members Harron Atkins, Ava Geyer, Miz Hashimoto, & Yilong Liu, served alongside our classic Brunch buffet and open bar.  

Sunday, November 3rd

Brunch begins at 12pm, plays begin at 1pm!

How do you introduce a new technology to a village community where nothing can be done without consultation and approval of the ancestors?
