ABOUT DIVE Dive was inspired by nostalgia of being a 1990’s kid. Like most my plays, I like to have them take place in my hometown area of the San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles county. I also chose the year 1994 for the story to take place because I felt that it was a great year for music, film, and in my opinion it was a year when culture changed so much as the world transitioned into an internet world the next year. 1994 may not feel that long ago, but it was such a different time. People didn’t rely on internet, VHS’s were still in every household, cell phones were not a way of life, and we had such a great time re-inventing this time period! But, along with the nostalgic fun, this play is really about a group of dive bar regulars stuck in Suburban confinement and how contagious it can be to continue to surround yourself in a toxic environment, relying on drugs and alcohol to get you through the day. Overall, this play is about the complete end of “The American Dream” era and more about the individual dreamers. |
