THE GARBOLOGISTS
Written by Lindsay Joelle
Directed by Monteze Freeland

A Co-World Premiere with Philadelphia Theatre Company

Unexpectedly Heartfelt
An unconventional buddy comedy follows first time sanitation worker Marlowe and lifer Danny in the cab of a nineteen-ton garbage truck in New York City. Tasked with picking up what the world has discarded, they learn that some things are easier to toss than others.
