THE LAST TRUCK STOP

Full length

Cars are outlawed, the West Coast is closed, and everyone is forced to live in corporate housing in the city. Well, almost everyone. When the few remaining residents of Truth or Consequences, NM get their eviction order, Gladys, the last human long-haul trucker, and Uncle Hank, her poetic postal carrier, have to make a difficult decision. In this 1975-meets-2045 tale of loss and renewal, the surveillance state faces its toughest challenge—our deep-seated desire to hit the open road.

A carefully constructed evocation of dystopia

Christopher Soden

Matthew Zahnzinger (Nurse) and Kathy-Ann Hart (Astrid) in THE SINGULARITY. World premiere, Science Fiction Theatre Company (Boston)

THE SINGULARITY

Full length

Astrid wants to become a mom, but she’s missing one very vital ingredient for getting pregnant. So she improvises with a turkey baster full of stolen dark matter. And it works. Within a couple of weeks, she’s expanded to three times her normal size. She knows something wants out, but she’s not sure what that something is.
