Love, Pray, Eat

Wanda, a female praying mantis, is rattled by her friend Jackie’s avant-garde views on love. Wanda can only envision a traditional love story: mating, having eggs, ripping off your mate's head and devouring it with a side of salsa.In this story about love, lust, and tolerance, is there more to life then fulfilling your biological imperative?

Originally performed as part of Monday Night PlayGround at Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse and then again as part of Best of PlayGround 24 over Zoom.
