The lines between reality and fiction blur in this singularly dark graphic novel play. A girl grapples with the carnage of her family’s dysfunction and roadkill removal business through art, but can art heal the trauma? Or are the scars as permanent as her sharpies?​

​

A unique collaboration between graphic artists & performance artists.

FIRST WE GOT PHYSICAL:

Performers physically explored the collision of the world of the play and that of the graphic novel utilizing  shadow puppetry. The final sharing showcased the following cast: William Edward Gardiner (CARL) & Rowan K Ching (CODY)

THEN WE TALKED TEXT:

In January 2019 the first 25 pages of Animals were read during HBMG's National Winter Playwright's Retreat in Creed, CO. The reading cast was as follows:
