What to Expect
Judas Iscariot has been waiting. In a space outside of time, he watches history unfold and wrestles with the legacy of the man he once followed and loved. Blending memory, witness, and confession, Say My Name invites the audience to hear the story from the one voice we were never meant to trust.
special Thanks
Family & Friends for their support
Say My Name is a new work and has not yet been publicly produced. Early readers and collaborators have responded to its intimate staging and bold reimagining of a familiar story, noting its ability to create a direct and personal connection between performer and audience.

Trisha Baker is proud to be joining DOTS Fringe for a second year. Trisha was last seen as Felicity in Ned Wilkinson’s comedy Fosgate: Ferret Loan Officer at the 2025 DOTS Fringe. She can be found behind Springfield Little Theatre’s The Judy front desk when she’s not onstage acting a fool. Trisha is grateful for the DOTS team for inviting her back this year to create again and to her wonderful partner Jonathan for joining in on all her antics.
