Running October 29 - November 9, 2025 at Artspace
What's Lunch Bunch?
Dragon Fruit! Black Beluga Lentils! Perfectly Soft-Boiled Eggs! Amidst the distinct fear/feeling that the world is, always has been, always will be going to sh*t, seven public defenders seek meaning, belonging, and some semblance of order via their frenzied quest for the perfect lunch (bunch).
Lunch Bunch is a comedy based on the real life Bronx Defenders’s Family Defense Practice. They’re one of the few public defense practices in the country that focuses specifically on family law - their entire job is fighting to keep families together. You can read more about their work on their website and in this op-ed by Emma S. Ketteringham, the Managing Attorney of the practice: "Live in a Poor Neighborhood? Better Be a Perfect Parent."
This play is about these defenders. They are fighting the good fight, and even when they lose, they fight on anyway. Plus they make some amazing lunches.
