BIGFOOT
by Meghan Endres Brown
Directed by Ann Smith
NOVEMBER 14-23, 2025
A darkly funny high-stakes suspense play about sibling rivalry, quantum physics, and the terrifying power of a good story.
Disgraced physicist Holly has arrived in rural Oregon to fulfill her mother’s dying wish: pick up her Bigfoot conspiracy theorist sister Alyssa and transport her back to San Francisco for one last family Thanksgiving.
But combative Alyssa refuses to leave the woods until she sees the Big Guy himself, setting off a sequence of escalating events that unearth a lifetime of simmering resentments… and put the sisters’ lives in jeopardy.
A darkly funny high-stakes suspense play about sibling rivalry, quantum physics, and the terrifying power of a good story.
Director’s Note:
Do you believe in science? Or do you believe in Bigfoot? This play follows two sisters from opposite camps who struggle to find their way back to each other. I hope with BIGFOOT we can laugh, ask questions, and rediscover lost connections.

IN THE AUDIENCE
“The screws slowly tighten, and our allegiances bounce back and forth as these two sisters battle over one sister's belief in Bigfoot. This is a page-turner. And for me, it brought back memories of the early days of Covid-19 and the struggle of science versus Facebook-fueled conspiracy theories. Highly recommended.”
“What is more unbelievable, string theory or Bigfoot? Meghan Endres Brown gives us dark comedy about loneliness, family, and connection, then infuses it with quantum physics and cryptozoological conspiracy theories. These are dynamite characters with a shocking turn of events that takes the story to another level entirely. I imagine production teams having a blast with this script. Are you looking for a tight 3-person play? Don't miss this gem!”
