THE SIREN SONG OF STEPHEN JAY GOULD

by Benjamin Bettenbender

A man lands on a woman after trying to throw himself off a bridge in a botched suicide attempt. On the quiet riverbank, as he attends to her minor injury, he learns that she too was planning to end her life over a broken heart. An argument ensues over the relative seriousness of their respective losses, the nature of existence, and the harmful effects of the essays of biologist Stephen Jay Gould. Will this unexpected collision lead each of them back to the dark place where they started, or will they start anew?

*THINE IS THE STILLEST NIGHT by Mike Seccome​

A deeply depressed woman struggles to move past a traumatic death, and angrily questions the futility of life and the pointlessness of death. An unexpected visit from the Grim Reaper sets her on a strange journey as a "Temporary Death", so she might gain a better understanding of death, life, and the eternal connection between them. Through turns both comic and tragic, this dramedy invites the audience to come along on a voyage to the inevitable end we all must face.

*First Performance of an original production
