So when her father is diagnosed with lung cancer, Jude is the only one who can take care of him.

THE INEXPLICABLE CHAOS FACTOR OF MIA GREGORY is an exceptionally long title for a short play all about Liv and Mia. Liv is one of the most brilliant teenage mathematicians in the country, but she does not understand her best (and only) friend Mia. Like, at all. And now, she's doing this stupid play to try to figure it out. An incredibly moving and empowering story about the chaos we create, and the order we can find in it.
These two plays are presented by the ten members of the Young Theatre Makers Ensemble. These one-act plays touch on themes of uncertainty, fear, mortality, friendship, and ultimately - hope. The Ensemble members carry the plays across with light and humor, but ultimately the performances pack an emotional punch. You don’t want to miss this unique theatrical experience!
Because these plays deal with emotional topics including one character who loses a family member to suicide and makes her own attempt, the Ensemble is using this production as an opportunity to partner with community members and organizations to raise awareness around local mental health resources. The chance to represent these stories, and in turn confront scary topics, allows people to come together and move from fear toward hope.
Anyone who is suffering can connect with the Wyoming Lifeline simply by dialing “988.” You do not have to be suicidal to call. If you or a loved one need to talk, call them now. Someone is always there for you on the other end of the line.

Gretsch singer-songwriter Lynda Kay is known for her 4-octave voice, big hair, and classic vintage style. Known for her contralto voice and genre spanning songs, Lynda Kay has been compared to Patsy Cline, Karen Carpenter, Dusty Springfield, and Roy Orbison. LA Weekly says, "Lynda Kay’s breakthrough was recent, but her journey is the thing of which legends are made.” Prior to her casting on Goliath, Lynda Kay appeared as herself on FX’s Justified performing her song “Jack & Coke.”
Lynda Kay is a Hollywood darling who Variety calls a “compelling talent… goth-country siren, with her towering beehive and David Lynchian theatrics” and who Quincy Jones said “Never, ever stop singing and dancing girl, you got what it takes!”
