“This exquisitely subtle, luminous, elegiac father-and-daughter drama is not to be missed. Moench…is a thoughtful and observant writer, working with almost documentary precision, with a fine delicacy reminiscent of great 19th century writers like Edith Wharton and Henry James. Drama is discovered in small, gossamer fleeting moments.”
—Amanda Callas, Broadway World
“WOW!… HAUNTING… EXQUISITELY ACTED… heart-touching, heartbreaking stuff, and an absolute joy to watch.”
— Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA

A Killer New Comedy Thriller
By Anna Ouyang Moench
Directed by Maggie Burrows
In association with Geffen Playhouse
Chaos ensues when four teenage girls on a mission trip to Bangkok discover a camera hidden by their pastor in their hotel bathroom. Do they leave it to God or take matters into their own hands? The pressure builds quickly in this suspenseful comedy that interrogates justice, privacy, religion, the patriarchy, and who you follow on Instagram. Juxtaposing girl power with teenage angst, the girls’ different ideals emerge as they discover what it takes to fight back. Maggie Burrows returns to Williamstown to direct this funny feminist thriller by newcomer Anna Ouyang Moench.

For those who need the additional experience, the program will also offer a unique opportunity to shadow a showrunner during pre-production and on set in production.
Program participants will receive instruction centered around the vital leadership development skills needed to catapult their careers. Masterclasses will focus on topics such as: running a writer’s room, conflict resolution, and leading with an equity mindset. Participants will also strengthen skills on: staffing an inclusive room, managing budgets, collaborating with department heads, and, if needed, be exposed to on-set culture and post production.
