Neo-Futurist Plays
DISCLAIMER: Kenjiro is not a member of any Neo-Futurist ensemble (though he’d certainly like to be someday). He just dabbles in the aesthetic.
These plays were originally created for my 2018 Writing and Performing the Two-Minute Play class at the Neo-Futurist Theater in Chicago. They each run at around 2 minutes.
