Nostalgia. ROBYN. There’s no place like home.
What is a legacy? Computer programmer Basil (they/them) wakes up and discovers everyone they love is gone. Years later, they perform a synth-infused concert about their life with help from their digital assistant, Orchid. Electropop, home videos, and iPhone footage collide in this “multi-media masterpiece of survival, identity and loss” (A View From The Box) on the fourth stop of its national tour.
Run time: 75 minutes.

"5Ns out of 5… Wow. Run, don’t walk, to see this spectacular show in its tragically limited run. … Belyea is magnetic. ... Belyea’s script is an ode to human connection. The concept is devastatingly relatable and realized beautifully as a performer. There is deep care and intentionality for every moment on stage. … Don’t even dare miss this show. I’m serious."

— FrontMezzJunkies | Full review here. "A multi-media masterpiece of survival, identity, and loss, I Don’t Even Miss You is a show you won’t want to miss."
— A View from the Box | Full review here. "Packs an astonishing amount of ideas and nuanced emotionality into 80 minutes. ... bittersweet and transcendent."
— Istan Reviews | Full review here.“Basil, played by the talented Elena Belyea, who also wrote the piece, recounts all 30-something years of their life. … I was blown away by the synth-infused opening number, “Tonight,” and each of the subsequent pop performance…Words cannot describe how much I Don’t Even Miss You touched my heart.”
— Intermission Magazine | Full review here.“From the moment we first meet non-binary computer programmer, Basil (Belyea), it is impossible to not be immersed in their plight for connection and finding beauty in their eerily silent world. Through quirky song and dance numbers to heart-rending soliloquies to humorous banter with Orchid (voiced by Vanessa Sabourin), Basil's emotional journey is utterly compelling.”
