Griffy LaPlante

Playwright/Director
Griffy (Emma) LaPlante (they/them) is a playwright and fiction writer whose work finds its roots in anarchist and abolitionist practices. In their stories, they present and re-present their experiences with land defense movements, workplace organizing, care work, and badly facilitated meetings alongside depictions of collapsing systems and fascism writ large and small. Through it all: A rejection of nihilism, an interweaving of left-wing scholarship on historical material conditions, and an embrace of the philosophy of “natality,” in Hannah Arendt’s use of the term. Griffy is a current MFA student at The City College of New York. They were raised in Indiana and now split their time between New York City and Minneapolis.

Kae McMahon

Felix
Kae McMahon is a clumsy dancer, disorganized organizer, recreational farmer, professional lesbian, and now, perhaps an actor? Since moving to the Twin Cities in 2023, they have had the pleasure of dancing in works by Gabrielle “Gabby the Baddie” Abram, Taja Will, Mathew Janczewski, Alys Ayumi Ogura, and an upcoming work by Erika Martin. Additionally, they are grateful to have been a collaborator in choreographing and independently producing “Good News: A Dance Concert”, directed by Haze Harrison, which premiered at MOVO Space in January of 2025. They extend much gratitude to Griffy and their collaborators for the chance to spotlight anti-war media on stage.
