Honors Project: Lungs
Wright Hall Lab A

Jessie Chung

In a time of global anxiety, terrorism, erratic weather and political unrest, a young couple want a child but are running out of time. In Lungs by Duncan Macmillan, if the couple overthink it, they’ll never do it. But if they rush, it could be a disaster. They want to have a child for the right reasons. Except, what exactly are the right reasons? And what will be the first to destruct – the planet or the relationship?

Tickets are a suggested $5 donation at the door. This is an undergraduate honors project completely produced by Jesse Chung. 

Lungs features alternating casts of actors. Elena Battas and Gregory Holmes perform on Thursday, March 31, and Saturday, April 2, while Ryan Gerberding and Anya Stajner play the couple Friday, April 1, and Sunday, April 3.

“A bracingly dramatic walk through the thicket of couples communication…. A smart and stimulating eavesdrop on the modern vocabulary of intimate negotiation.” — The Washington Post 

“A dazzling piece…Lungs has heart. And it never misses a beat.” – The Star (Toronto)

Jesse Chung is a fifth-year dramatic art major and an A.C.T. Summer Training Congress alumnus. Previous directing experience includes productions at Youth for Asian Theatre in San Francisco in which he also served as the organization’s Project Director for two years.
