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

In "Alligator-a-Phobia in 3D" – a play with music by Jay Eddy – Katherine Perry stars as Sweetness, one half of a happy couple that moves to Swampland. Trouble arises when their wife becomes 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.

Perry hails from Philadelphia where they work as an actor, improviser, teaching artist, and inclusion strategist. Here are the things they can't perform without.

Herbivore Phoenix Rosehip Anti-Aging Facial Oil

"I use this at the top and tail of my day to keep my skin hydrated. Being in and out of rehearsal spaces and theatres can take a toll on the skin, especially with fluctuating temperatures from this transition into spring, so anything I can do to help combat dryness and dullness is a win." $88, Herbivore Botanicals.

Tinted Sunscreen

"Both of these give a light glow, protect my skin from sun exposure walking to and from the theatre, and serve as a light primer. The character I play in the show, Sweetness, is a wildlife photographer, so getting the look of a sun-kissed complexion without any of the damage helps add to the world of the play."

Supergoop Glowscreen SPF 40

$38, Supergoop!.

Elf Suntouchable! Whoa Glow SPF 30

$14, Elf Cosmetics.

Liquid IV Hydration Multiplier

"This stuff has saved me on more than one occasion. In a play like 'Alligator-a-Phobia in 3D,' once you step on stage it's go, go, go, until the final chorus is sung, which means stealing sips of water offstage is a rare treat. Popping a packet into a bottle of water helps give me an electrolyte boost or fight fatigue from a long day in tech rehearsals. I personally love the Golden Cherry flavor and always have a few packets with me wherever I go." $24.99, Liquid IV.

Native Deodorant

" 'Alligator-a-Phobia in 3D' is a multi-door farce, a cartoon extravaganza, an absolute blast – and that means we get sweaty – very sweaty. I love Native deodorant for the essential oil-filled scents (currently using Palm Leaf & Agave, and keeping a stick of Citrus & Herbal Musk in my dressing room)." $13, Native.

Polly-O String Cheese

"A favorite snack of my childhood continues holding strong. Great for a quick protein pick me up on the go. I'm team pull, not bite." $7.98, Walmart.

"Alligator-a-Phobia in 3D" runs through April 16 at Boston Playwrights' Theatre, 949 Commonwealth Ave. Tickets available here.
