Nostalgia Ainโ€™t What It Used To Be

July 2 - Sept. 5, 2022

A New Musical

In a country where we can finally stop wearing masks to get pizza and go to the movies, and where we again have a president who isnโ€™t dumb as a two dollar ham, hard- working, middle-aged liberals Ralph and Alice wistfully yearn for The before Times, when things seemed normal. But for Zoe - their twenty-something daughter who grew up in a world of climate change, housing crashes, student debt, the rise of dictatorships and the fall of democracies - there is no โ€œbetterโ€ to go back to. For her the purgatory of the last two years was just a pause from life in Hell. So whatโ€™s the point? Isnโ€™t it easier to just give up? If only her new, socially inept, maybe crazy, conspiracy-theorist friend wasnโ€™t so intent on saving the world! Why are they so convinced Zoe is the one to do it? Why do they need Zoeโ€™s help? What kinda name is โ€œBookโ€? And what even is a portal gun?
