Flood Sensor Aunty
is about a flood sensor working at her aunt’s chai shop who really wants to be a movie star. Halfway between really funny devised theater and community disaster prevention, this show is about how the best way to protect yourself from flooding, climate change, and despair is through knowing your neighbors. All performances are free and audiences leave with bellies full of (oat milk) chai, resources, information, laughs, and calls to action about flood resiliency.
