Meet Ethan.
He’s in a bit of a shirt storm.
8 Months after Trump has been elected, gay, divorced, unemployed merch-maker Ethan (Frank Murdocco, A Little Treat) is down on his luck. Out of work since designing merchandise for Kamala Harris’ unsuccessful campaign, he’s ready to close up shop. When a mysterious woman (the voice of Tony-nominee Maria Dizzia, Plainclothes, Orange is the New Black) places a large order, things are looking up. The only issue is, she’s ordering T-shirts that read “Thank You, President Trump.” It isn’t long before Ethan finds himself a purveyor of conservative merchandise. As the asks get bigger and their relationship steepens, Ethan is faced with a pivotal decision – go broke with his integrity, or find himself rich with remorse.
A gripping, equal-parts hilarious and harrowing new solo play, anchored by a captivating performance from Murdocco, in tandem with the voice of Dizzia, Sublimation is an incendiary journey through morality and money that asks the question: would you trade your conscience for cash?
