A typhoon hits the Philippines and local project officer Michelle lands her dream assignment. It's her first time coordinating a global relief effort for a sleek American NGO. A chance to change lives, to be the changemaker she always dreamed of! All she has to do is smash her KPI's and avoid her chaotic bestie Janna—who's just set Michelle up with her first ever Tinder profile. “Nerd girl seeks fact boi for hot data sesh 📈”
Then, Michelle's phone blows up with blonde-haired, blue-eyed faces. The Americans have arrived. Soon, rooftop parties replace field work and the humanitarian response devolves into a bureaucratic mess—led by her smooth-talking new boss, who's as morally flexible as he is sexy.
As the lines between charity and self-interest blur, Michelle is forced to choose between her ambition, her conscience, and her country.
Inspired by her own time working for NGOs in the Philippines, playwright/comic Happy Feraren brings first-hand insight and fearless wit to this whip-smart satire. Utopia meets The White Lotus, SAVIOR skewers the ego, excess and ethical gymnastics of corporate humanitarianism.
