Does it take superpowers to be a writer, a parent, a traveler, a lover? This collection of time travelling, gymnastic plays range from zany to tragic and back again. The result of an experiment to write a play a day for 100 days, this collection allows collaborators to play with the edges of theatrical possibility. Come play with us.
