2021 and 2023 alum Jayne Deely’s play I never asked for a gofundme will be one of four plays in La Jolla Playhouse’s Latinx New Play Festival, running Oct. 4-6, 2024.

Millie has come back home to Mobile, AL for a prestigious fellowship she couldn’t pass up, bringing her Puerto Rican east coast born and raised partner, Avery, who is recovering from top surgery, with her. When quasi-aunt to Millie and righteous woman of God Teresa overhears Millie talking to a pharmacist and assumes Avery has breast cancer, she decides to save the day, even if she doesn’t agree with their ‘lifestyle.’ Cue casseroles, care packages, and checkbooks – a gofundme to SAVE AVERY! I never asked for a gofundme is a new queer comedy about gender, family, and religion that asks what it means to be worthy of care.
