So Colin, if you could just set the piece up, tell us what we need to know so that our audience is ready for Josh to dive into the monologue.

Yes, of course.

So this piece is from my play, Antarctica, My Home.

And Josh Rotensweg played Liam, the protagonist of the piece, I would say, in our equity workshop last December.

And this play takes place in a research facility that's way out in the glacial desert in Antarctica, which is called the Orchid.

And the play is sort of an allegory that is touching on different aspects of my life, my identity, my relationship with my parents, and their relationship to the current state of American politics.

The play is about a single child family.

So we got a little of the inspiration as you were prepping us for the monologue, but what was the original idea? Where did this play start in your head and your creative process?
