ABOUT EGGS
There is no handbook for your 20s. No set path. No homework you can complete for a guaranteed A. Just searching, reaching, grasping for anything that, even for a moment, makes sense.
Being in your 20s is talking to a friend who owns a business and is engaged in the morning, then another who works for minimum wage at the GAP just to afford improv classes at night. It’s learning what you value and want to prioritize. Trying on different identities, jobs, partners, hairstyles—all within a day—only to do the same tomorrow. It’s learning to sit with the constant, chaotic change. It’s realizing that when you’re at your highest, your best friend might be at her lowest.
EGGS is a raw, unfiltered exploration of modern friendship and grief. Bonded by the loss of a mutual friend, Girl One and Girl Two navigate a turbulent year through a series of nine vignettes. Amid personal crises—failed relationships, self-destructive choices, and societal pressures—their bond is tested as each struggles to find authentic happiness and connection. The play's edgy, witty dialogue reveals their inner turmoil and the bittersweet search for identity in a chaotic world.
DIRECTORS STATEMENT
What does it mean to be an adult? A woman? Do I need a child to feel aligned with my birthright? What about my career? Can I do both? What if I don’t want to? Does wanting to be a mom make me weak? What if I hate kids—does that make me a bad woman? What would getting an A in life even mean? Every single day - I have these thoughts and then some all before 8am.
While self-acceptance is a lifelong journey, there is something especially potent about being a woman in your 20s. Constantly reminded of our biological clock, warned that our looks will only fade from 25 on, we exist at the mercy of the grind, beauty standards, and societal expectations.
Eggs captures the poignant and exhausting experience of identity formation in womanhood. In a world where bodily autonomy is increasingly restricted, art like this is vital. It reminds us that no one has “mastered” the human experience and we are certainly not on this earth to go it alone. We are putting this play on now because this is our truth. This play is my day to day.
Women are life-givers and shapeshifters—not just in the literal sense. We nurture, we cheerlead, we riot, we speak. We play boyfriend when our friend’s heart needs holding, chef when our bodies crave fuel, makeup artist when smeared eyeliner tells a story of loss. We drive the late-night airport runs, show up even when we’ve been pushed away. We bend, we become, we endure.
Girl One and Girl Two embody the feeling of being untethered, of feeling unworthy of love in your own body while being absolutely certain your friend deserves it. Love and connection is our greatest gift. There are no answers. There is just living. After all, we are all just walking each other home.
THE IMPACT
In addition to the importance of meaningful art, we believe in supporting organizations that create meaningful impact and promote positive social change in our community. The fires that tore through our beloved Los Angeles were heartbreaking and devastating to say the least. While the fires highlighted that this life and a sense of home can be found in non material goods, they also highlighted the value of our everyday physical possessions. Material goods provide us comfort, joy and stability.
We are proud to announce that a portion of proceeds from this production will be in support of The Altadena Girls Organization. At the core, Girl One and Girl Two are still just teenage girls trying to get by. We want every girl to have access to the resources and comforts many lost during the fires. Altadena Girls was formed by a kick ass 8th grade girl to help girls who lost everything in the fire rebuild their lives, their confidence, and regain their spark. They are currently focused on providing the essentials: clothes, personal items, beauty products, and hair care. These everyday things might seem small, but for these girls, they’re priceless when it comes to feeling seen, supported, and ready to take on life again.

About This Team
Jade Kaiser (Girl Two) - Jade Kaiser hails from Seal Beach, CA, and has made her mark with a mix of sharp comedy sketches and grounded short films she creates, directs, and stars in—most notably Cora + Sam Hate The Dentist. Audiences may also recognize her as Cara Ford from Grey's Anatomy or, most recently in Busboys, the new David Spade/Theo Von movie. A graduate of Loyola Marymount University with a Bachelor of Arts, Jade further honed her craft at the London Dramatic Academy, training with directors from R.A.D.A. When she's not writing or performing sketches with American High, you can catch her doing improv for the masses (a.k.a. her loyal East LA crew, whom she lovingly pressures into attending). Jade’s work reflects her bold, quirky spirit, resonating with anyone ready for a good laugh and a fresh perspective. She read Eggs two years ago and is so excited to bring this dark comedy to life for the US audience to enjoy and hopefully have a good chuckle.
Kate Nerone (Girl One) - Kate Nerone is a writer and actor based in Los Angeles. She writes mostly parts she’d like to play, and plays mostly parts she wishes she’d written. She earned a BFA in Creative Writing at the University of Wisconsin Madison and spent her time abroad in London taking courses at RADA and perfecting the accent she uses in this show at many a local pub. She works across several artistic mediums including theater, directing, screenwriting, essay and fiction writing, songwriting, stand up comedy and more. You can find her and her work on her Instagram @kate_nerone, her substack or website by the same name, and her podcast, Off Task. She hopes you enjoy this sparkly little egg-shaped gem of a show.
Aubrey Salita (Director & Producer) - A multi-hyphenate creative drawn to human connection and the unspoken. Maddened by digital body language, inspired by moments of utter presence. She has never wanted to be just one thing. From assistant to creative director to yoga teacher and a dog walker herself, there is not a story she has found not worth telling. With her roots and heart in theatre she is thrilled to be sharing a story that feels like an authentic depiction of being 20 something. Originally from Minnesota she is now an LA native writing, directing, laughing, crying and connecting as she moves through this life. Find her instagram @4ubreysalita or on her website aubreysalita.com.
Nate Pierstorff (Producer, Stage Manager & Tech Director)- Nate Pierstorff is a creative producer and designer living in Los Angeles, CA. He received a BFA and BBA from the University of Michigan. Past work: Airbnb, Meow Wolf, Universal Parks & Resorts.
