Two writers spin original science fiction, and one musician underscores the readings with complementary auditory landscapes. Every other month at the Bryant Lake Bowl. Next show: April 7, 7pm, featuring Eli Effinger-Weintraub and Erik Ostrom. Tickets here. We need to be thinking of the future as a society for a multitude of reasons: we need to…

Gravitational Collapse was a cerebral sci-fi exploring relationships and the nature of identity. The piece examined how people with different personalities react to a situation in which they cannot remember who they are, using…
Balls Cabaret
Revisited for the first time in quite a while, I’m still in love with this magical theater and its longstanding band of magicians.
