Summary: Pang! is an evening of three short plays based on the oral histories of families living with hunger in Los Angeles CA, Miami FL and Cedar Rapids IA. The plays are staged amidst a forest of microphones, sound effects
props and musical instruments, as if the audience is watching a radio theater company perform a live broadcast.
PANG!’s scenarios:
1) A single mom and nine children are swindled into foreclosure on their Los Angeles family home of 65 years.
2) A family makes a harrowing escape from war-torn Burundi and resettles as refugees in Eastern Iowa, which proves traumatic in its own ways.
3) A 7 year-old boy sews seeds of hope as he fantasizes his way out of a Miami neighborhood besieged by violence and beset by racist politics.
