A Existential Dark Comedy
Winner Of A Rolling Premiere From The National New Play Network
In this fast-paced comedy, no sacred cow is safe from the dinner table. After being unceremoniously sacked by his university, Professor Dick Fig finds himself trapped in an excruciating exit interview. What starts as small talk quickly spirals into a hilarious and delirious exploration of religion, love, politics, and the meaning of life. The Exit Interview ricochets between existential musings, politically radicalized cheerleaders, a pompous newsman, and soccer moms reimagining the scientific method—culminating in a surprising and thought-provoking conclusion. Winner of a Rolling Premiere by the National New Play Network, this razor-sharp comedy promises to keep audiences laughing and thinking long after the curtain falls.
