THE IMMORTAL JELLYFISH GIRL

“Humor, emotion, and story telling verve. ”
— The New York Times, Critic's Pick
“A stunningly original theatrical work”
— Talkin' Broadway

The year is 2555: large swaths of earth’s surface are considered dead zones, and mass extinction has begun. There is a war (there is always a war), and as both sides grow desperate, their thirst for destruction becomes more and more volatile.

An improbable meeting between an orphaned boy and a young girl threatens to tip the balance for good, but in whose favor, and at what cost? A mysterious man in a homemade fox costume has seen this all before, has lived this tragedy too many times already. But this time – he is determined – it will be different.
