MUSICAL THEATER
Gravity: A New(tonian) Musical
Co-created with Joel Chapman, Matt Herrero, Jessia Hoffman & Ken Savage
5W, 8M
When physics prodigy Sophie is catapulted back in time, her meet-cute with 23-year old Isaac Newton inadvertently prevents him from getting hit with the mythic apple and discovering gravity—which makes her time machine stop working. Now trapped in 1666, Sophie must restore history and navigate the Enlightenment, where Natural Philosophers are the pop stars of their day. She tangles with historical luminaries such as up-and-comer Edmond Halley, Isaac's rival Gottfried Leibniz, and the unknown author Margaret Cavendish, who is embroiled in her own quest for fame and scientific recognition.
A new romantic comedy, smashing together madcap time travel mayhem and delightfully remixed history.
Fifty-Fifty

One evening in 1983, at the height of Cold War tension, a Soviet officer in a military bunker makes the most important decision of his life. Weeks later he is interrogated by his superiors, who seek to understand: did Stanislav Petrov betray his country? Or is it possible he saved the world?
