A support group for things inside of things. A class for women writers. A raucous frat party. Strangers from different worlds meet on a train and unravel who they think they are. An absurd exploration of language and gender.
This production of A Walrus in the Body of a Crocodile was developed with students in the Conservatory of Theatre Arts at Purchase College, SUNY. The play was commissioned and first presented by Clubbed Thumb; Maria Striar, Producing Artistic Director, as part of the Clubbed Thumb Directing Fellowship in collaboration with Zoë Geltman, Fernando Gonzalez, Keyana Hemphill, Jesse Jae Hoon, Birgit Huppuch, Jess Kantorowitz, Emily Levanthal, Mary Neufeld, Kate McGee, Harmony Stempel, Courtney Williams, and Molly Wurwand.
