SATELLITES
A NEW INTERSTELLAR LOVE STORY
AUGUST 6 - 16
Two weeks ONLY!
By ERIN BREZNITSKY
Directed by ADRIENNE CAMPBELL-HOLT
ABOUT THE PLAY
Girl meets Boy, Girl marries Boy, Girl moves on after Boy goes missing in outer space...Until Boy mysteriously reappears on Earth 7 years later. Katherine and Mike awkwardly meet again for the first time in a NASA waiting room. While he has dreamt of home from the far reaches of the cosmos, she has forged ahead on her own, grounded in the reality of career and motherhood. Memories of the couple’s romantic past converge with an impossible reunion as they attempt to bridge the astronomical gap between then and now. Intimate, charming, and beautiful, Satellites is about time, space, and two people with great ambitions.
“A mesmerizing story of career, cosmos, and caring. […] [Satellites] was recently chosen as the winner of the 2022 Premiere Play Festival, and it’s easy to see why. This two-hander brings heart and humor to an incredible story.”
“ funny and poignant, but above all else, it is a romance grounded in reality, and it is one of the best shows I’ve seen this year. […] Playwright Breznitsky proves herself a talent to be watched.”
