The Other Room

The Other Room

By Adrianne Blayde

Spring 2021

Directed by Gabi David and Ryder Quiggle

DQ Troupe; Presented at Bakers Crust Artisan Kitchen

In the midst of COVID, recognizing a dire need for some form of theatre, my friend Ryder and I took matters into our own hands to create something out of passion and love.  Partnering with a local restaurant in need of patrons, DQ Troupe was born and the story of a one-act play they stumbled upon the internet was told in a new and unconventional way.  


​Austin is a brilliant teenage astronomer who happens to have autism. Lily is his popular classmate who happens to have an interest in astronomy. When a chance encounter after school leads to a growing connection between them, Austin's imagination, intelligence, and constant struggles to connect with the world are revealed in the form of four characters representing his inner life. By turns funny and heartbreaking, The Other Room is a compelling and sensitive glimpse into a unique and misunderstood mind.
