Marjorie Prime

January 21 – February 20, 2022

by Jordan Harrison, Directed by Wendy Katz Hiller

It’s the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-year-old Marjorie — a jumble of disparate, fading memories — has a handsome new companion who’s programmed to feed the story of her life back to her. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? In this richly spare, wondrous play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits — if any — of what technology can replace.

Jan 21, 22, 28 & 29 and Feb 4, 5, 11, 12, 17, 18 & 19 at 8pm

Sundays Jan 23 & 30 and Feb 6, 13 & 20 at 2pm

Featuring Maggie Gilkes, Dan Johnson, Jeannine Thompson, and Lindel Salow.  Scenic design by Bradly Byrne, Lighting Design by Harley Miah. Stage Managed by Shardai Davis.  Meet the creative team HERE.
