About This Show
IN REPAYMENT
Created and Performed by The Junkyard (Chris Carcione, Jessica Hart, and Magdalen Zinky)
Federal student debt is $1.2 trillion and rising, and millions of American 30-somethings are left to question the value of their education. With inspiration from Homer’s The Odyssey, and incorporating found text, reconstructed histories, and bittersweet memories from those crazy college days, In Repayment explores the financial crisis that defines a generation.

Yours Untruly is an ensemble performance comprised of self-questioning diary entries and confessional letters from a middle school girl; dancing and singing through the crises of grades, fitting in, and mortality.
