This new play will be presented as a LAB Workshop. Workshops are an essential part of the play development process. We are proud to offer this as part of our On The Radar (OTR) New Works Program that aims to support the creation of diverse new stories by emerging U.S. playwrights.

A very bright, very fast object is careening towards the Earth and in this moment of imminent death, our heroes and villains make big life and love choices. Dr. X leads a prison break. He and Orphan Drillnose are off to find the woman with the face like a plate. The New Crimefighters, Magpie, Hummingbird, and Butterfly fight to restore order and save the world. Harry Hardnose, ace reporter, will record it all.

NOTE: This show does contain some mild adult language.
