“A play for young audiences that tells the story of an overweight girl who, one day, is told by her doctor that because of her extra weight, it’s as if she were carrying another girl around all the time. This idea takes root in her mind, and over the years, we witness how those words shape her life and development. The text explores the theme of fatphobia and seeks to spark dialogue and reflection around diverse bodies.”

“The gifted young playwright David Yee slows time to intimately examine one such catastrophe: the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. This disaster—the deadliest in recorded history—claimed approximately a quarter of a million lives, primarily in South and Southeast Asia. Yet, true to our times, even a tragedy of such magnitude has faded from memory, at least in North America, displaced by a decade of more recent headlines.”

It’s been a year since Craig, the son of Paul and Lucille, took his own life, and the once-solid bonds of their family have begun to fracture. As the now-separated couple tries to honor their son’s memory, Lucille’s sister, Liset, and her husband, Jim, refuse to speak about their nephew. The ties that once held the four together—as siblings, best friends, and spouses—are strained by grief and guilt… until the unexpected visit of a fox changes everything.
At once heartbreaking and deeply moving, This Is How We Got Here follows a close-knit family grappling with sudden loss. A mother, a father, an aunt, and an uncle must learn to move forward after trauma and rediscover how to connect with one another through forgiveness, humor, and love.
