How The World Began
by Catherine Trieschmann
Susan Pierce is a transplant in her rural portable-turned-classroom, teaching science to high schoolers. But when conflict over an offhand comment to her strong-willed student Micah erupts, Susan and the wider community of Plainview find themselves unable to bridge the chasm between their beliefs.
“Delicately balanced and stirring. Rare and refreshing intelligence.”
– The New Yorker

Here's what they say about the show

I was in awe of the performers. Three brilliant actors in fine form. I was sorry the play wasn’t longer.

I left the show with a profound feeling of weight and hope at the same time. Very timely production.
