A day in the life of a group of young Washington DC go-getter types, living in a shared house in a gentrifying neighborhood during the Obama Years. Frank interns on Capitol Hill; Dave is an unemployed Georgetown Law grad; Charity is a former Peace Corps volunteer who works for an indigenous rights NGO; and Maria is the Cuban-American Rhodes Scholar at the State Department. Professional and relationship drama ensue. The script is a glimpse into the various DC worlds the characters interact with, including the IMF, World Bank, McKinsey, spoken word poetry (e.g. Busboys and Poets), a cab driver’s quest for literary fame, and an absolutely absurd lobbying group called Saving the Dogs of Bucharest. Inspired by Ionesco and real-life stories, the playwright was asked by local filmmakers to write a script that truly captured the clueless ambition of the young people who descend on the District of Columbia. DISTRICTLAND sold out its extended run at the 2014 Capital Fringe Festival, received a rockstar review in the Washington Post, and was bought for TV development.
