Working Concepts: Tarot Inc.
A devised play
as The Fool, The Four of Cups, and the reaper
Working Concepts: Tarot Inc. Follows a group of humanized Tarot cards through one week in the office. Broken Printers, stolen lunches, and the threat of the company being shut down all follow them, as the 'Working Concepts', humanized versions of abstract ideas like Death, life, and Time, AKA Corporate, do their best to mess with the 'poor little cards'

Tarot Inc. was the first devised piece that I ever was a part of. I have to admit that the process was stressful, and felt both like it was forever and not long enough, we managed to create something we were all happy with. The Working Concepts characters, and Tarot Inc. Characters were originally created as two separate ideas and pretty soon the cast was divided into two camps, neither able to agree on what characters should populate the office. Then, we though, why not both! The Tarot cards became the office workers, and the concepts became the corporate entity, determined to make life hell for the Tarot Characters, eventually resolving in the company being shut down. Tarot Inc. was my last time on stage in college, and I'm glad I went out with a bang with some of the best friends I've ever had.
