Welcome to the Deathday Party!!!
We’ve all gathered here to honor the death (and life) of... someone who REALLY likes cupcakes. This highly interactive and improvisational experience encourages you to assist The Figure in uncovering exactly who they are and what their life was all about. Watch as they unpack the many mysteries and traumas of life, identity, and what it means to die, all while enjoying the subpar delights of some less than ideal cupcakes.

Audience Reactions
“Grosvold's audience interaction and improvisation were smooth, allowing for her awkward-yet-lovable character to connect with the viewers easily. It felt casual as she seamlessly flew back and forth from new ideas posed by the audience back to the text.”
- Morgan Kingsley
“This was a delightful show and powerful show that perfectly blended comedy, drama and interactivity. 10/10 would see again”
- Fringe Arts Audience Member
