Taking on Heteronormativity & Beverage Bias
FULL LENGTH PLAY
Cast: 3
It’s the year anniversary to a life changing night of male trauma and being dumped for Nyla. Did we mention, her Tinder date arrived at the hotel, and she’s going to do EXACTLY what her therapist advised she not do in order to answer one primary question: Is she a Peps! Bitch or a Peps! Cola Bitch?
In this coming out odyssey traversing time and space, Nyla, a closeted peps! drinker in a heteronormative and cola fanatic city takes the courageous journey home to self with the help of guiding spirits Peps! and Cola.
