“Lost/Not Found” by Kirby Fields
May 2017

After a successful Drama Shop presentation last November, UP is pleased to present a full production of this play by “K Comma Joseph” playwright Kirby Fields. Three desperate twenty-somethings from Washington Heights “rescue” a missing autistic girl and detain her, while the growing reward for her return offers visions of riches. What they learn about themselves, however, may prove to be the more valuable bounty.

And of course our season would not be complete without:
