Flood Sensor Aunty is about a flood sensor working at her aunt’s chai shop who really wants to be a movie star. Halfway between really funny devised theater and community disaster prevention, this show is about how the best way to protect yourself from flooding, climate change, and despair is through knowing your neighbors. All performances are free and audiences should leave with bellies full of (oat milk) chai, doubles, flood alarms, headlamps, and calls to action about flood resiliency.
RSVP for future performances!
