SELECTED WORKS
THE EULOGY APPROACH by Joseph Frederick Allen
THEATRE ROW
April 2023
Off-Broadway Directorial Debut!
"The Eulogy Approach recently premiered Off-Broadway at Theatre Row, co-starring Leana Rae Concepcion (Broadway's Merrily We Roll Along). A down on his luck barista's oddities and queerness aren't helping him jumpstart life beyond his small town. Believing a stranger's arrival is a sign from the universe, he offers the panicked young woman refuge inside his closed cafe. This one-act dramedy, set in real time, follows the two stubborn individuals - a dreamer and a realist - as they uncover a mysterious family scandal. Matching the optimism of Ted Lasso with the youthful skepticism of Girls, The Eulogy Approach examines how fate and free-will affect our efforts to get unstuck from now." c/o Joseph Frederick Allen
