Wake (film)

Overview

 wake /wāk/ 

1. To emerge from a state of sleep.
2. To hold a vigil beside (someone who has died).

Like the double entendre of its title, “Wake” is one part of a two-spirited project: a play and a film.

The play will premiere at 59E59 Theaters in NYC in November 2025. Get your tickets here: https://www.59e59.org/shows/show-detail/wake/
The film is available online as part of the 2025 Philadelphia Fringe Festival!
