WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT REZA IS DEAD

devised by The Electric Brain | lead writers Laura Barati and Mark Maxwell
lyrics by Laura Barati | music by Danny Ursetti

Alyssa, Laura, Mark, Sophie, and Teagan had everything ready for their best friend Reza's last party. The theme, the edible glow-in-the-dark body paint, the pony... But now Reza is dead, and the party is still looming. A council has been called for debate. Do they throw it anyway, in his honor? Scrap it entirely, out of respect? And why was it so important to Reza that Teagan bring the cake?

Mined from their own lives, fears, and friendships, We Regret to Inform You That Reza is Dead is The Electric Brain's invitation to a celebration of life, death, tequila, connection, and the things we miss.
