The Extractionist, by Michaela Jeffery
January 23 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
“Tell me what I’m not seeing.”
A contemporary crime drama with a neon-noir edge, The Extractionist explores themes of power, justice, and accountability through the story of a deprogrammer drawn into the search for a missing young woman.
Set within a world of wealth, secrecy, and influence, the play examines how systems can fail those without power, raising questions about who is protected — and who is not.
“A young woman is missing. The prime suspect is an affluent member of the secretive Luminia organization. Enter Asha Ray, a deprogrammer who specializes in extracting people from dangerous cults… Together, Asha and Reuben must work to outsmart a powerful predator and uncover the truth before time runs out.”
