About the Show: Based on the short by Lisa Wagner Erickson—hailed by the Boston Globe as "a hilarious play that toys with one woman's obsession with her bathroom scale" — STEP ON ME follows aspiring influencer Stacy as she attempts to get the upper hand in a twisted, S&M-ish relationship with her bathroom scale. But Scale has other plans. Featuring original songs, absurd physical comedy, and an unhinged theatrical fever dream you won't soon forget, this cautionary tale asks: who's really in control?

Directed by Em Perez, actors Veronica Straight-Lingo and John-Christian Maheu brought the house down in an April performance of the short play at Meow Wolf, winning the Best Cast award in an evening produced by Jefferson Arca's Cheeky Monkey Productions. The duo will flex their comedic prowess in June for an unforgettable show in the Denver Fringe Festival and at Boulder's Junkyard Social Club.

Cypherbird Projects is dedicated to creating unconventional theatrical and multi-genre arts. From 2019 to date, Cypherbird events and productions have featured thought-provoking interdisciplinary work by over 46 Colorado creatives, including playwrights, poets, visual and installation artists, filmmakers, and performance artists.
