Turnover
March 13-23 2025
IN RESIDENCE: March 11 – 24, 2025
Daniel Malefist desperately needs a job. During his interview a tragic workplace accident occurs, creating an open position. Daniel acquires work under the severe Cindy Parmesan. She is determined to turn him into the ideal middle manager, someone as eager to defer to those above as to dominate those below. As the pressure to submit joyfully intensifies, Daniel questions if he’s cut out for management or if his first shift will be the one that kills him.
Turnover is about the constricted feeling that arises from watching the hours of your life go by from behind a cash register, cubicle wall, computer screen, the constricted feeling that comes from understanding that these unfulfilling hours are your life, that this is how you are spending your preciously short time on this planet. For fans of Severance and GG Allin.
