A woman appears on a TV show to talk about a recent UFO sighting. The show’s other guest is a boy whose experience at the craft services table will change his life forever. What follows is Special Cheese, a play about parents and children, space bunnies, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s mid-90s comedy filmography, and the nature of evil.
This workshop showing of Special Cheese was presented at Columbia University in February 2015. Previously, excerpts were presented at CATCH 64 at the Invisible Dog Art Center in November 2014 and at Hearth Gods at Jimmy’s No. 43 in July 2014, in which the role of the Woman was played by Kate Benson.
