A major disaster in Manhattan has everyone on the island looking for high ground. For Danny’s family and friends, that higher ground happens to be her one-bedroom apartment in Inwood. As the world outside  goes to pieces, Danny tries to keep the peace among the assorted characters gathered in her space. They might make it through this crisis, if they can manage to survive each other.

The playwright of The Glass Piano returns to The Lab with a comedy about the end of the world - one of the hits of our 2021 New Plays for the New Year virtual reading series!

WELCOME

Aubrey Elson is your effervescent, dependable girl-next-door with a spicy side! As a professional AEA singer, dancer, actress, choreographer, accent coach, yoga instructor, and voiceover actor, she has spent several years living and working in Los Angeles, Boston, San Diego, and New York. With an MFA in Theatre Performance from Florida Atlantic University, as well as a BA in Theatre from the University of Southern California (and a minor in International Relations), she has not only performed across the United States, Canada, and Latin America, but plans on working to use the arts in Peace and Conflict Resolution, and to help bridge cultural gaps.  

 

Her performance work and teaching are geared towards fostering happiness, joy, empathy, and kindness in others: to help make the world just a little bit better and brighter through art. When she's not performing, choreographing, dialect coaching, or teaching theatre, Aubrey can be found teaching yoga as a 500 hour certified Yoga Alliance instructor or tutoring high school students in the SAT/ACT. Aubrey loves  working with both academic and artistic students to help them develop into confident, prepared, professional, and happy young adults. You can take the girl out of academia, but you can't take the academia out of the girl! She also offers Zoom Restorative yoga classes free of charge to anyone and everyone - contact to ask!

 

Feel free to explore, leave a comment, or contact Aubrey for a free Zoom yoga class. :)
