ANOTHER PLACE
What if you could build your own universe and leave your troubles behind - would you do it?
Or can we embrace our place in history as living in the age of climate change?
​
Inspired by new discoveries in physics, Another Place orbits around Cassandra, a physicist who sees the opportunity to literally create a new universe. Can she start over, unencumbered by her own failings? In her attempt to create a black hole, multiple times and places collide, opening up new possibilities and complications. Unpredictable, idiosyncratic and absurd,
the play tackles themes of environmental responsibility, scientific discovery and human failure.

"... a promising young company and the show had an interesting premise – a woman scientist discovers how to create new universes by collapsing black holes.” (Culturebot)
“The entire design budget (lights, set, costumes)
was $500, almost entirely using repurposed and recycled goods.”
(Hamilton Dramaturgy’s TheaterNow)
