Megalodon

Megalodon dives into the lives of Akilah, Troy, and the unforgettable Cressida, with a narrative that pulses to the beat of Run The Jewels, hip-hop, jazz, and singer-songwriter vibes. It’s a comedic, yet deep look into teenage friendship, identity, and grief, where music isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a lifeline. Imagine Akilah and Troy navigating their world, their losses, armed with wit, humor, and a shared love for the raw, electrifying energy of Run The Jewels. This play is an anthem for the misfits, a tribute to those tunes that help us feel seen, and a reminder that laughter and music can carry us through the toughest times.
