Condemned to a Life August 13, 2026
Condemned to a Life is a darkly funny, deeply human solo show about family, resilience, and the stories we’re told about ourselves. With humor, honesty, and a cast of expressive puppets portraying every other character, Amy Kraft recounts an unconventional childhood alongside her brother, a life-altering accident, and the forces that send their lives in dramatically different directions. Part memoir, part childlike imagination, the show examines the labels we inherit and asks whether we have the power to define ourselves, even when the world has already decided who we are.
Written and performed by Amy Kraft. Directed by Vishaal Desai. Puppet design and performance by Noah Ginex.
Recommended for ages 15+. Contains mature themes, coarse language, and discussions of addiction, mental illness, trauma, and incarceration.
