The editor-in-chief of a college newspaper tries in vain to keep the status quo intact as the impending 2016 presidential election looms large over the United States.

In a totalitarian state where the Ministry of Culture must approve all new works of art, a rebel group is staging an illegal play under the guise of a wedding. In this darkly funny political thriller, everything is not as it seems. A MIRROR is an elusive, explosive play interrogating censorship, authorship and free speech.
After the Blast by Zoe Kazan
March 5, 6 and 10-13 2027 at the Cooper Center for Creative Arts
After a global environmental disaster, humans have retreated to a sterile and bleak life underground, only made bearable thanks to chips implanted in their brains that can simulate tastes, smells, sights, and sounds. Ever hopeful that partial re-habitation is imminent, reproduction is strictly regulated in order to maintain genetic diversity. Against this bleak background, one couple desperately want to raise a child, but Anna’s depression prevents her from clearing the mental health exam. She is given hope when her husband Oliver brings her a helper robot to train for another family. As her mental health improves, she discovers a devastating truth that could turn society’s carefully constructed world upside down.
