Vanishing Girl tells the story of Luciana, a bright college student who leans on her one best friend, crushes on the girl at the comic shop, and toils at writing alone. Suddenly, Luciana acquires electricity-related superpowers and finds that, like a battery, she’s slowly fading out. Reminiscent of beloved comic book stories, Vanishing Girl will resonate with anyone who has felt invisible.

Vanishing Girl has been in development for several years and has been well received at preliminary showcases with the Latiné Musical Theatre Lab and the Composers Showcase of Las Vegas. This workshop will feature ten performers, including Rayanne Gonzales (recently seen in Daphne’s Dive at Signature Theatre), Bianca Lipford (Shakespeare in Love, Keegan Theatre), Justine “Icy” Moral (Songs for a New World, Rep Stage), Meredith Richard (Working, Keegan Theatre), Harrison Smith (Elegies: A Song Cycle, Keegan Theatre), and Carl L. Williams (Once on this Island, Constellation Theatre Company), with additional cast members to be announced. This production is produced by Jonny Perl and Ricky Drummond.

The workshop will culminate with two public performances at 7 PM on Saturday, January 28, 2023, and 3 PM on Sunday, January 29, 2023 at the Silver Spring Black Box Theatre (8641 Colesville Road). Tickets for both performances will be pay-what-you-can, with a suggested donation of $10. More information can be found at https://www.flyingvtheatre.com/.
