Hey girl--ever wanted to start your own business? Or maybe you just want to get in on the ground floor of someone else's dream. Well, you're in luck! The Pyramid needs you—and you need The Pyramid. Cool kid Bex has started a wellness club, and she's on the hunt for new members—people like the wallflowering-her-way-through-life Emma. But these teens are about to discover that the distance between the top of the pyramid and the bottom isn’t always as far as it seems in this deliciously dark comedy.
“The Pyramid allowed our students to engage with material that, perhaps more dramatically, mirrored their own experiences. The show is timelessly relevant in an environment of social pressures constantly asking, 'How far would you go to fit in?'” - Marjorie Gallant, Associate Chair & Production Manager, Performance, Theater, and Dance, Colby College (Waterville, ME)
“The Pyramid was an absolute treat to produce. There are so many opportunities for actors to show off their bite-y quips and non-verbal jabs in this piece. It’s raw, it’s concise, and it’s powerful.” - Rich LeMay, Co-Founder & Executive Producer, Run of the Mill Theatre Productions (Iowa City, IA)
