Written by Rosamund Small and directed by Michael McPhee and Wesley J. Colford, TomorrowLove (TM) is a play cycle about love, sex, technology, and the future. Immerse yourself in a series of duets, in which technological innovations grant physical transformation, time and space travel, immortality, the extraction of the human soul, and a fridge that expands to hold infinite groceries—all in the name of love. If you roll over in bed and reach for your iPhone, if you store more memories on your feed than in your brain, if you’ve ever longed to upgrade yourself or your partner, or if you’ve ever binge watched an entire season of Black Mirror then welcome to TomorrowLove™. There will be a brief intermission halfway through the show. Recommended for 13+.
$25 adult / $15 youth (23 and under) + tax & fees | 7:30pm
