San Diego State is front and center in Loud Fridge Theatre Group’s production of local playwright Christian St. Croix’s “Zach.” Director Amira Temple is a recent graduate of SDSU’s School of Theatre, Television, and Film. Young co-stars Sergio Morejon and Kendall Stallworth, both making their professional stage debuts and playing multiple characters in the show, are currently theater students at SDSU.
It was directed in Seattle by Sara Porkalob, who’s currently starring in her own solo show, “Dragon Mama,” at Diversionary Theatre in University Heights. Temple sees important commentary in the play’s satirical comedy. “There’s a big, overarching theme,” she said. “The media that we consume does not always reflect the reality of the world. And the way people present themselves does not always reflect the reality of their internal world.
