Cost of Living is an exquisitely original, honest and deftly funny new play that explores our need to connect and be loved, regardless of the gulfs that disability, race and class place between us. John, a wealthy and successful PhD student with cerebral palsy, hires Jess, who has recently fallen on hard times, as his new caregiver. Across town, truck driver Eddie attempts to support and reengage with his estranged wife, Ani, following a life-altering accident. Watch as four very different lives collide, and roles are reversed.
Lift up your hands for the most groundbreaking, gut-busting, gender-bending character ever to grace the stage! Join the outrageous Hedwig Schmidt as she shares her story, backed by her rock band “The Angry Inch,” for an immersive rock event that will inspire anyone who feels life has given them an inch when they deserved a mile.
