‘Checked Out’ // Inscape Assembly

  Welcome to Greenmart, where the Karens run wild, wannabe creatives line the shelves, and the rule of not falling in love with your co-workers is undeniably broken! ‘Checked Out’ is a fresh musical presented by Inscape Assembly that offers a glimpse into the inner lives of several young employees navigating the challenges of both the modern retail landscape and the individuals unfortunate enough to be caught up in it. From Alice, the new kid on the block, to Jet, who has weathered it all, from the lovestruck Harry to the perennially lost Lara,”Checked Out is a comedic musical that resonates with anyone who’s toiled in customer service and nearly lost their sanity in the process. Caleb Bartlett’s lighting design was simple yet effective, employing basic backlighting and front spotlights.

Bloom Girl // MeOhMy

  Walking into this production is like stepping into the land of influencers and Instagram itself. Complete with ladies in beautiful lingerie, roses aplenty, and digital and print art everywhere. The vibes are spot on even before the show begins! The key message of this production is “show me something real”. Post-disaster, melted ice-cream in hand, and bleeding @bloomgirl, a disillusioned artist with a niche web comic, is waiting to be seen in a hospital emergency room. Tied up in knots of likes and filters, @bloomgirl’s carefully curated online persona is about to spectacularly collide with the IRL, culminating in a digital melt-down that breaks her tiny pocket of the internet permanently. But it may just be real enough to matter to the right people. Alice in a dark digital wonderland, @bloomgirl tells a riotous and sacrilegious tale about love and acceptance in a world of influencers who care more about your follower count than what you have to say. The set design by Charli Burr...
