Marking a decade of fearless creative exploration, Artist Playground proudly presents Reverse Card, a bold new psychological thriller by Chase Kyle Loza, directed by Paul Jake Paule.

Set for a limited run on August 2 and 3, 2025 at 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM. The production
will take place at the Black Box Theater at Erehwon Center for the Arts. This milestone
staging underscores Artist Playground’s ongoing commitment to provocative, boundary-
pushing storytelling.

“Reverse Card” is a gripping thriller that follows a gay author tormented for years because of his gender identity. In a vulnerable moment, he invites his former classmate and longtime bully, John, to his home. The evening turns sinister when the author’s latest play gets rejected in favor of John’s work.

A two-hander that immerses audiences in the suffocating space between two characters
locked in a devastating battle. More than a war of words, this play is a visceral
confrontation between humiliation and dignity.
