Summary

In a world where most human interactions and needs have gone virtual, a pair of digital workers believe all there is to life is earning “credits.” That is, until a mysterious person delivers a mysterious box, which grants the workers the opportunity to see the potential beyond what they think they know. Dystopian sci-fi combines with mythology and physical comedy in this quirky play about the power of imagination and storytelling.

Learn about the exciting creativity that happens behind the scenes through interactive demonstrations and a performance of a world premiere play at Lyric Backstage! Two professional theatrical designers will share their unique paths to careers in the arts and some of the key principles behind their work, before volunteers will help demonstrate how these artists make essential contributions to the stories that happen onstage. Then, see a performance of the world premiere play, Envy & Hope by Kristen Palmer, which will put those elements into action. Recommended for age 11+.
