Join the Theatre Arts Department for the "First Bite: New Play Series"! The series features premiere readings of plays written by MFA playwrighting students.
In "Lobstertown" by Ellen Azevedo, the town of Average, Maine, has been ravaged by a giant lobster. It's a disaster. The citizens are unsure what to do. There isn't exactly a precedent for this sort of thing. At first, it seems the local government will be able to take charge. But when it becomes obvious that the council's plans are terrible, the citizens of Average find themselves in a pickle. With only two options available to vote on, lines must be drawn. Soon, the once idyllic town is divided. Relationships fracture, cults form and the lobster is no longer the biggest threat Average faces.
