Loser
A new play by Ceaseless Fun
Loser thrusts audience members into the basement bedroom of Lee, a recent suicide victim. Lee’s cousin, in one final act before leaving town for good, rummages through a trove of embarrassing nerdom ephemera as he searches for meaning in Lee’s death. Ultimately, Loser confronts the impolite and the uncomfortable in a battle to squash existential angst and answer once and for all: “who is the real loser?” This show marks Ceaseless Fun’s first production in over 2 years, and their first since Everyone Agrees it’s about to Explode was prematurely closed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Loser was originally devised and written during quarantine by artistic director Derek Spencer and company member Soren Royer-McHugh. Loser runs at Art Share LA from May 21 to June 12, 2022. Tickets are available at loser.eventbrite.com. Trigger warning for gun violence, dark spaces, bullying, and suicide/self-harm.

About Ceaseless Fun
Ceaseless Fun fosters empathetic and socially-engaged discourse through feverishly philosophical and playfully illicit live performances. This is done by: - Collaboratively devising contemporary and relevant material with both performers and designers - Crafting and staging performances in unconventional spaces - Affording audiences agency and implicating them within the fiction - Drawing on and collaging a variety of literary, dramatic, poetic, and philosophical source-texts - Challenging the audience to draw their focus from the narrative to the expressionistic - Making the work as physically and monetarily accessible as possible Past theatrical productions include Everyone Agrees it’s about to Explode (2020), The Rose Theater Presents… (2018) The Stars (2018), They Who Saw The Deep (2018), Agnosia (2018), Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan (2017), and GRANDPA JOHNSON IS DEAD! (2016, in partnership with Scarlett Kim & Co.).
