The Pitch Review by Brock Wilbur

"Dri Hernaez’s take of dopey TikTok star flooded with sudden empathy with Clare is

simply a tour-de-force

—not just in line delivery but in every small glance and facial twitch throughout the show’s runtime."

Anti-Hero: Revenge of the Swifties

COMING SOON

December 9 - 27, 2026

World Premiere production written by Derick Edgren Otero

Directed by Ernie Nolan

Role: Magenta

When a fifteen-year-old girl from Ohio tells you she knows how to order snakes online, what do you do? You sit down and you listen! This uproariously funny, sharp satire follows fourteen-year-old Cora as she takes aim at a prominent music critic, who has savaged her favorite country-turned-pop star’s most devisive album. As the battle between critic and fandom spirals out of control, one question remains: who will win - truth, loyalty, or karma?

Fandom is a contact sport.
