In the second phase of development, the performers worked on building out the interpersonal relationships of the characters to create an unjust situation that we could coach the audience-players into disrupting.

We elected to focus the central conflict on a labor injustice in which Kathy, the manager, enacts micro and macro aggressions against the waitstaff, in particular, one waiter named Charlie. Throughout the course of the experience, the waitstaff, led by the assistant manager Valerie, attempts to recruit audience-players to stand with them during a walkout which happens at the end of ther performance.
