Based on her own life, Erin Maya’s The Complete Picture follows the story of Kira, a 36-year-old photographer who has never confronted her donor-conceived identity. When she gets pregnant, she must finally reconcile with the truth of her roots to pass on her entire genealogy. With her dead dad constantly in her ear, together they delve into the complicated process of tracking down the donor. But digging up family secrets takes a toll on the people closest to her who want those secrets to stay buried. Centered around a father-daughter relationship, The Complete Picture digs into the rawness, mystery, and complex identity crisis faced by anyone investigating their complete picture.
The creative team, which included Erin Maya, Nicholas James Connell (music director and co-creator of Off-Broadway’s hit musical Titanique), and Riley Thomas, joined forces with Texas State faculty, students, and alumni for a week-long workshop experience.
Following the performance, a talkback session with the creative team will offer the audience a unique opportunity to engage with the artists and discuss the themes and processes behind the musical's development.Directed by Kaitlin Hopkins.
