Evie and Star is an autobiographical memory play by Audrey Evie and Star is a fiercely theatrical memory play by Audrey Cefaly about twin sisters bound by love, resentment, and a childhood trauma that shattered them both. One became a successful writer and mother; the other fell through the cracks—unhoused, addicted, and full of fight. When a bureaucratic nightmare collides with the final days of Evie’s life, the sisters must confront what they owe each other—and what it means to stay.

______________________________________________

In Evie and Star, twin sisters crash headlong into the American healthcare system—and each other. Starleen is a writer with a house, a child, and a manageable life. Evie is newly dead. Through a fractured memoryscape of flashbacks, phone calls, chorus-driven absurdity, and one unforgettable road trip, Starleen tries to piece together what happened—and what was lost.
 

From Connecticut rehabs to Southern Walmarts to a Kafkaesque bureaucratic hellscape, the play tracks a relationship shaped by childhood trauma and a playground accident that altered the course of both lives. Along the way, Evie’s voice emerges not just as memory but as testimony—a furious, funny, unflinching indictment of a system that failed her.

Darkly hilarious and fiercely tender, Evie and Star is a reckoning with grief, sisterhood, survival, and the stories we tell to stay tethered. Told through the lens of a stylized chorus, boxing corner men, and one woman’s final stand at the DMV, the play pulses with love and rage in equal measure.
