A moment with JJ Peeler of HOT LUNCH.

Why did you choose PortFringe this year?
We choose PF because it’s like theater Christmas! It’s an opportunity for us to really explore what performance is and ask people to go out with us into the depths of the strange but beautiful.

How was your show born?
We all went to middle school- and it was universally terrible. What if you could go back with all you know now? Would it be better? These questions forced us to try.

What about the world *right now* makes it feel important to be putting this show out into the world?
So often people define us without knowing anything about us. They make assumptions, instead of trying to connect. By putting on another identity, we hope that we can foster a bit of goodwill between cliques.

How would you describe your show to your mother?
“MOM I DONT WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL TODAY”

How would you describe your show to your crush?
