Kelly K Klarkson and Quentavius da Quitter need to find a name for their rap group. Through flirty interludes, cringy overshares, and practicing their ollies, they grow increasingly closer. Skating and Smoking. Skating and Drinking. Skating and exorcising a demon. With live skateboarding and original music, enter Bowl EP:
a skate park
in the middle of a wasteland
at the edge of the galaxy
A co-production with National Black Theatre, in association with The New Group, Bowl EP is an experience at once intimate and epic. Written and directed by Nazareth Hassan, 2024-2025 Tow Foundation Artist-in-Residence at Vineyard Theatre, with music by Free Fool.
