LEsson FOr THe FUTURE

You sit in a circle of chairs. There’s a plant, an easel, and a table with snacks. A group of teaching artists present a lesson on something we don’t know much about: our future! Lesson for the Future, an interactive new play, first appears to be a workshop, then explodes into something else entirely. Inspired by workshops and public events and conversations with friends, this play invites audiences into a word where uncertainty is reality and possibility and potential are hiding in unexpected places.
