Lloyd Dobler (yes, the teenage boombox romantic from the 1980s film Say Anything) returns! Seriously unserious, devoutly disobedient, still refusing to buy, sell or process anything. Now a middle-aged Zen-punk dissident duct-taping ancient spiritual wisdom to the collapse of the American empire, with deep gratitude and zero credentials. Part political satire, part Gen X cultural exorcism, and part kinda-sorta-maybe guided meditation to survive late-stage effin' everything.

Written and performed by Dennis Trainor Jr. and directed by Olivier Award winner Guy Masterson.
