DESCRIPTION

Her Mother Was Imagination is a bold new culture-bending play by local playwright Elizabeth Heffron, directed by Ellie McKay. This edgy satire explores a future society who are seemingly confined to a massive sky-scraping tower living safely above a treacherous and inhospitable earth terrain below. This almost Orwellian life in the tower is both savage and decadent and at times an opulent spectacle in this fantastical new world order.

Featuring David Gassner, Sann Hall, Jesse Keeter, Conner Marx, Carrie McIntyre, Beth Peterson, Erin Pike, Peter Richards, Michael Stock and Sarah Warner

Her Mother Was Imagination is the culmination of a generative multi-disciplinary arts project exploring our future as individuals and as a culture, created by Elizabeth Heffron, Ellie McKay, Max Reichlin and Daniel Worthington. This new play is entirely lit and powered by human-charged batteries in effort to minimize its own environmental footprint as well as champion the practical applications of alternative renewable energy.

Pay What You Can performances on August 6 & 7.

Industry Night performance on August 16.

Lacks the suspense and urgency needed to make audiences believe in its dark vision of the future.

It\'s 1984 inside and Mad Max outside, with a heavy nod to Star Wars rebellion at the end.

At $15, you\'re getting more than your money\'s worth, except in lumbar support.
