Overview

Age is just a vibe

Three 70-year-old women on surfboards. One 19-year-old hotrod instructor. The currents of the Pacific Ocean. What could possibly go wrong? Wipeout is a poignant comedy about friendship, grief, and the unpredictable tides of life.

“Warm and wonderful…powerful, often hilarious journey into what it means to be a real friend these days.” – Chicago Theatre Review

Recommended for ages 16+ (for detailed content warnings, click here)
