DerbyWise
Based on stories from local Roller Derby team the San Diego Derby Dolls.
Shaun Tuazon served as Co-Director, Scenic Designer, and Projections Designer/coordinator for 'DerbyWise'.
The all-alpha-female world of the San Diego Derby Darlings can seem like an alternate universe filled with new rules, new names, new spouses, and in many cases new identities. Circle Circle dot dot’s latest original production “DerbyWise” is a journey through the eyes of a budding Roller Derby star Erika “Jezebel” Simms, who takes on this new world and all of the complications that this endeavor entails. Throughout her history as a Darling, Jezebel is faced with much turmoil from her teammates- but it’s what’s going on within the athlete that sets this story in motion, and asks audiences the question: is it the woman that makes the Derby, or the Derby that makes the woman?
