“TRUNK” by Riley Samuel Merritt is an interactive one-man show that narrates the trials of a young artist circumnavigating his imminent demise. Presenting poetry, music, and years of cumulative writing, Merritt grapples with the nebulous nature of ambition, love, and identity through the eyes of a flawed everyman. Unifying in it's themes of connection and community, TRUNK is the perfect show for all audiences -- thought provoking and fun.
