Generations ago, humans retreated deep underground after an environmental disaster ruined the world above. Now they live in a perfectly regulated, artificial environment in which, among other things, childbirth is carefully controlled. They manage the realities of their existence with computer chip implants and narcotics. Yet into this world Anna and Oliver want to bring a child. Anna battles depression, yet is unwilling to participate in the escapist behavior of her culture. When Oliver gives her a robot as a therapy tool, he hopes to help her heal. This FHU Theatre production features senior theatre majors Grace Sykes and Trenton Sweeney in the principal roles. Directed by R. Cliff Thompson.

Three intrepid Victorian women hitch up their skirts and resolve to explore “Terra Incognita.” They flaunt the customs of their time to boldly go into the unknown. Armed with machetes and pith helmets, they ford jungle rivers, climb the Himalayas, and discover the most mysterious terrain of them all; America in the 1950s! A tour-de-force of theatrical language and bright playfulness, “On The Verge” promises “a frolicsome jaunt through a continuum of space, time, history, geography, feminism and fashion” (New York Times) . Directed by Luke Noles.
