Founded in 2019, Loud Fridge aims to catch people's attention and nourish the community with plays that allow diverse communities to feel 'seen'
Three years ago, San Diego’s Loud Fridge Theatre Group was about to start rehearsals for the thought-provoking play “Ripped” when the pandemic arrived, shutting down the production and slamming the door shut on the fledgling company, which was launched in 2019 and had just one play under its belt before the stay-at-home order arrived.
In “Ripped,” a female college freshman is sexually assaulted ... or at least she believes she was. The 80-minute play examines the meaning of consent and looks at the incident from three different viewpoints. Wells said the play’s constant tonal shifts will keep audience members guessing to the end.“It’s one of the few plays I’ve read that forces you to respond to it. It doesn’t give answers. It asks a lot of questions.
After the pandemic arrived, Wells, Reynolds and two new Loud Fridge company officers who joined the company in 2021, Eboni Muse and William “BJ” Robinson, shifted gears to produce lighter fare because, Wells said, “nobody wanted to hear a heavy show in 2020.” Following the production of “Ripped,” Loud Fridge has two other shows planned this season. Charlayne Woodard’s solo play “Neat,” about a Black woman telling the coming-of-age story of her brain-damaged aunt, will be co-produced by and at Scripps Ranch Theatre March 24 through April 16. The season concludes with Exal Iraheta’s “They Could Give No Name,” about an Arizona medical examiner whose fiancé, a border patrol agent, kills a young immigrant girl.
