What if an imaginary climate activist broke the wall between the stage and the sea to host a sit-in on the Great Garbage Patch? In this (mostly) 1-woman show, She draws the audience into her trashy theater world, and challenges them to imagine a better one. Through interactions with puzzles, props, plastic, politics, and prose (sometimes all at once), people will ponder upon the problem of the Pacific. “The Great Specific Garbage Catch” by Tyler Neufeld was workshopped with Untitled Theatre Company at UCLA in 2022, and was performed again as part of the Bruin Fringe Fest in 2023. Now, the text has been stretched and reworked into an immersive escape room experience, where the audience is trapped with She on the plastic until the UN reaches their climate consensus, and until the show is over.

About Hollywood Fringe
The Hollywood Fringe Festival is an annual, open-access, community-derived event celebrating freedom of expression and collaboration in the performing arts community. Each June during the Hollywood Fringe, the arts infiltrate the Hollywood neighborhood: fully equipped theaters, parks, clubs, churches, restaurants and other unexpected places host hundreds of productions by local, national, and international arts companies and independent performers. Participation in the Hollywood Fringe is completely open and uncensored. This free-for-all approach underlines the festival’s mission to be a platform for artists without the barrier of a curating body. By opening the gates to anyone with a vision, the festival is able to exhibit the most diverse and cutting-edge points-of-view the world has to offer. Additionally, by creating an environment where artists must self-produce their work, the Fringe motivates its participants to cultivate a spirit of entrepreneurialism in the arts.
