The Things that 'Alligator-a-Phobia in 3D''s Leah Kreitz Can't Perform Without

Christopher Ehlers READ TIME: 9 MIN.

In what might just be the most compellingly-named show to play Boston this year, "Alligator-a-Phobia in 3D" – a play with music by Jay Eddy – Leah Kreitz stars as Happy, one half of a happy couple that moves to Swampland and finds herself ever obsessed with the local alligators. Touted as "one part door farce, one part monster movie," "Alligator-a-Phobia in 3D" promises to be one hell of an absurd horror-comedy.

The Los Angeles-born, Las Vegas-bred, current Brooklynite – who is a resident artist with New Light Theater Project – recently shared with EDGE the products she can't perform without. Here's what's on her list:

Matchaful Hikari Single Origin Matcha
