a member of the alt-right versus an A.O.C. type progressive. Join us

“In
these divided times, when truth has become commodified and
weaponized, I think maybe it’s the best thing I can do as a
writer .... Just tell the true story. And in doing that, I think people
will see themselves and their own truths in the story of my estranged
brother and me." —Playwright
Gabriel Jason Dean in New Jersey Stage
"This
is not just a story about me and my brother ... More than anything, is
about making space when it’s uncomfortable to hear each other.
Sitting in the same room even though you don’t think you’ll be able
to see eye to eye.” —Playwright
Gabriel Jason Dean in NJ Monthly
#RIFT deals
with mature themes including violence, sexual abuse, and racism, and
is intended for audiences 16+.

FAQ:
Do I have to do Part 1 & Part 2 to understand
Part 3?
You can absolutely enjoy Part 3 as a stand-alone
event.
Will strangers text me if I do Part 1?
Nope! Just us! Everything comes straight from Luna
Stage to you.
Will texts wake me up at night?
Nope! We're polite and only text between 10 am and
7pm. We do our best to track your time zones too.
Did I miss anything?
See above! The play starts when you sign up.
Will you sell my phone number?
No, of course not. Who do you think we are? You can
read our whole privacy policy here.
Can I change my mind?
Of course. Just text "stop" if you do. But
we bet you won't want to!
Is this a true story?
Sometimes yes, sometimes not exactly. Certain
aspects have been fictionalized to protect the real people in this
story.
Why are you doing this?
We believe that this deep and ongoing engagement
with the creative process will allow audience and artists to become
collaborative partners, grappling together with how we understand
our past and imagine our future.
This project is supported in part by Venturous
Theater Fund of the Tides Foundation's Plays for Now initiative,
and the New Jersey Theatre Alliance's STAGES Festival.
