Ada refuses to leave her apartment. A bug becomes something new. One-million bugs scurry across the stage. Ada and Bug attempt to figure out what the hell anything means.
BUG is a new play from J.K. Richards that explores the absurdity of gender, the meaning of life, and bugs. BUG tells the story of an insect who wants to learn how to be a human being and a human being who needs to learn the same thing. It is a play for cicadas, centipedes, flies, beetles, people who love life already, and those who try everyday to.

With a bumbling father, a surly grandma, an off-putting younger brother, and a mysterious man in the house, Liza grapples with the truths her family has internalized and a future filled with uncertainty.
