- By Miranda Rose Hall
- Directed by Taibi Magar
Baltimore’s own Miranda Rose Hall returns to BCS with this darkly comic world premiere play. The Zero Omissions Theater Company desperately wants the audiences of their climate change play to WAKE UP! But when things don’t go as planned, it’s up to their stage manager/light board operator/dramaturg Naomi to find a new way of telling their story. In this communal experience like no other, the play becomes an awakening about how to be human in an era of man-made extinction.
RUN TIME: 78 minutes
