Object Transfer Station is a one-on-one immersive and participatory theater piece. Participants are asked by a government agency, The Department of Objects, to bring in something they would like to discard.  In an outpost called the Object Transfer Station,  participants are then interrogated by a Department agent and asked to reveal all that they know about their item.

Half speculative fiction and half immersive theater, Object Transfer Station highlights what we do not know about the vast majority of our possessions, no matter how seemingly important or inconsequential, and brings a greater awareness to one of our most massive societal challenges, trash.

Object Transfer Station premiered as part of Cannonball fest within the Philadelphia Fringe Festival in September, 2023. It was also a 2023 panel pick by Cannonball, chosen as one of its five small audience and immersive works for the inaugural "Snack Track". 

Funding and Support for Object Transfer Station came from the Puffin Foundation, the City Corps Grant presented by The New York Foundation for the Arts and The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and Cannonball Festival (produced by Almanac Dance Circus Theatre).
