Siobhan (Meg Stalter) is a quirky, socially anxious mess who can't seem to keep a job. Thanks to the help of her best friend Gary (Kanoa Goo), she scores an interview with his boss, Mr. Litchfield (Rainn Wilson). When her call to schedule the interview goes to voicemail, Siobhan panics and leaves a series of unhinged messages. Not wanting to lose the interview, she embarks on a chaotic mission to delete the voicemails herself...
First-time writer/director Taylor James proves my theory that dancers understand comic timing better than anybody. ILY, BYE navigates its way through a whirlwind of farcical madness with precision and rhythm. Anchored by the instantly likable Kanoa Goo and enhanced by Megan Stalter's colorful and delightfully unhinged performance, showcasing her comic genius, ILY, BYE achieves timeless appeal. — Erin Brown Thomas, Artistic Director
