Adolsy title
- World Premiere


Written by: Taylor Dodd Geu

Adolfo Quijano performs magic for the rich and famous, particularly the criminal elite. However, he has a secret: he evenly splits his time in another body. That body is Dolsy Ernez, a lesbian in a distant city with a stable relationship. And then, of course, something goes wrong. Adolfo seizures and possibly dies, leading his goons to investigate Dolsy. The secret is out, and now Dolsy and Adolfo find themselves caught between who they are and who they should be.

Playwright/Director Bio:

Taylor Geu was born in Yankton, South Dakota. Her first publication was a weekly comic book they passed around the playground in 4th grade. They learned general audiences were philistines. Since then, she’s become passionate about gender abolition and social justice, centering them in her scripts for stage and screen. A surrealist and fantasist, she’s interested in using the weird and spectacular to aid audiences in reconsidering what it means to be human beyond the usual societal script and norms.

Geu’s play “*Adolsy”* was a semifinalist for the 2021 Bay Area Playwrights Festival, a Second Rounder in the 2020 Austin Film Festival Playwriting Competition, and was virtually produced as part of PEA Fest 2021 by the Breaking & Entering Theatre Collective in April 2021.
