Bag&Baggage Productions Proudly Presents...

Our Utopia

Summary

Inspired by the classic play Our Town, Our Utopia gives the audience the opportunity to explore what it means to be a member of a community. This metatheatrical experience invites the audience to confront their own beliefs and unpack what it means to exist in “utopia”. We are thrilled to bring this world premiere production by Hillsboro native Carlos-Zenen Trujillo to life in collaboration with the Ashland New Play Festival!

 

This play explores religion, toxic relationships, and groupthink.
