[Miami Herald]
Evelyn Shaffer, an indie game designer, has landed an interview for her dream
job at Moonbeam Studios. Even better, that interview is with her childhood hero,
veteran designer Tim Beck. But as the interview progresses, Evelyn realizes just
how quickly dream can turn to delusion. A ten-minute musical infused with a
32-bit score, Evelyn Shaffer and the Chance of a Lifetime shows that,
sometimes, the greatest quests aren't in video games, but our own lives.
Evelyn Shaffer and the Chance of a Lifetime won the 40th
Annual Samuel French OOB Festival, as well as the 2016 City
Theatre National Award for Short Playwriting.

He suggested writing a musical based on a tattoo of a Mario-style mushroom, and this is what we came up with.
