Theaterlab Presents
Like a Good Neighbor
written and performed by Jake Alexander
directed by Hayley Moir
He’s here to help! Exploring friendship, bullying and the concept of the clothing chair; Jake tells the story of trying to save a stray cat in an alley, and everything that came after (trauma, blood, tears, etc) all while he attempts to help some of YOU with your day-to-day problems in real time.
Immediately inviting you into the living room of an internal monologue, Like a Good Neighbor is a warm, welcoming and hilariously self-conscious show about just that: being a good neighbor.
Written and performed by Jake Alexander, and directed by Hayley Moir, Like a Good Neighbor is part of Theaterlab’s inaugural MELTINGPLOT festival.
MELTINGPLOT provides you the opportunity to experience what’s next in participatory live performance.
Join us for this inaugural festival May 18 -31, 2026 as 5 creators present brand new work.
