Fantasy A Gets a Mattress:
The larger-than-life rapper with autism FANTASY A is well-known in every corner of Seattle for his unconventional and memorable guerrilla marketing tactics. After being unfairly kicked out of his group home, FANTASY A is forced to use his genius towards a new goal: getting a good night’s sleep. Along the way, he’ll face off against seedy club owners, hip-hop vampires, scummy dojo losers, and a slew of other wack Seattleites who hope to stop FANTASY A in his tracks and crush his dreams of fame, fortune, and a safe place to catch some Zs.

Co-directors Noah Zoltan Sofian and David Norman Lewis, producer and production designer Safiye Rose Senturk, and cast members Fantasy A, Miles Stanberry, Logic Amen, and more in attendance for a musical introduction and post-show Q&A.
