Episode 23 - Karl Amundson and Emily Fink: Falling Forward
This episode features a conversation with Karl Amundson and Emily Fink about their musical: Falling Forward.
Falling Forward is about Meghan, a queer 27-year-old sculpture artist who is leaving New York City, moving in with her mom in Michigan and giving up on her artistic aspirations. However, packing her apartment proves to be a noisy affair, as all of Meghan’s belongings-- including a Bong, a Self-Help Book, a Vibrator, a Family Portrait, a smart-device, and more—come to life, forcing Meghan to reckon with her own role in her terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad year. Equal parts memory play, fever-dream, generational satire, and coming-of-age story, Falling Forward follows Meghan as she teeters on the brink of change, searching for certainty in her uncertain world.
This episode features the songs “Guru Say!” performed by Karl Amundson, Emily Kristen Morris, Emily Fink, Danny White, and Kimberly Immanuel, as well as “If You’re Smiling” performed by Kimberly Immanuel, Emily Kristen Morris, Karl Amundson, Emily Fink, and Michelle Coben.
