Broken commitments, sudden abandonments, and flat-out rejections take a toll on a 20-something queer girl after a while.
This ‘dramedic’ one-person show explores the grief, wisdom, and humor of rejection through sketches, monologues, parody, and characters. Inspired by the works of comedic geniuses like Mike Birbiglia, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Abbi Jacobson, and Amy Poehler, “okay, bye!” covers romantic heartbreak, bad friends, therapists who’ve ghosted, an exploration of gender identity and sexuality, and one irritated cat. In a show that’s equal parts clever comedy and sincere search for meaning, Kaila asks herself: “Why have people let me down in so many ways? Who am I really, and what am I looking for?”
This show is for lovers, poets, artists, queer people, women, bisexuals, people outside the binary, anyone in the middle of a huge life transition, storytellers, grievers, people who take themselves on dates, cat lovers, funny people, therapy goers, and fans of Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter.
This show is written and performed by Kaila Galinat (she/her), directed by Jasmine K Bernard (she/they), and stage managed by Christine Treuhold (she/her). Presented by Root 22 Collective.
