Photograph 51

London, 1952. British biophysicist Rosalind Franklin’s DNA discovery leads to the Nobel Prize – not for her, but for three men: Francis Crick, James Dewey Watson, and Maurice Wilkins. Recounting the competitive chase to map the DNA molecule, Photograph 51, moves deeper into the #MeToo movement and examines the pervasiveness of gender bias. This production  celebrates the anniversaries of The Nora, URT, and CST!

Photograph 51 is part of The Brit d’Arbeloff Women in Science Production Series. A Catalyst Collaborative@MIT Production.

black odyssey junior

black odyssey junior is an adaptation of Marcus Gardley’s black odyssey, taking on the themes and stories from the original play but told through a child’s lens. The Front Porch Arts Collective partners with the Community Art Center in Cambridge to bring this story to life for their annual school-age production. Students from the art center help write the script over a six-week period and will perform their adaption to an audience May 13 – 14, 2019 at Central Square Theater.

Constellations

A mesmerizing romantic journey begins simply. Marianne and Roland meet at a party. They go for a drink. They fall madly in love and start dating. Or do they?  There are infinite possibilities, and  a single word may alter their lives at any moment. Scott Edmiston, six-time Elliot Norton Award-winner for Outstanding Director, leads Marianna Bassham and Nael Nacer in Nick Payne’s play about love, possibility, bees, and… quantum physics.  Discover the reason The New York Times asked:  “Who knew that higher physics could be so sexy?”

Constellations is a Catalyst Collaborative@MIT Production.

Constellations runs 1 hour 15 minutes with no intermission. Please note there will be no late seating.

The Revolutionists

Paris, France, 1793: The Reign of Terror. Four badass women conspire, plot murder, and resist extremist insanity. Join playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, Haitian activist Marianne Angelle and former queen Marie Antoinette as they hang out before each of them loses their… heads. In this irreverent, fantastical comedy, Lauren Gunderson, award-winning author of Emilie: La Marquise Du Châtelet Defends Her Life Tonight, examines feminism, extremism, art, and how we actually go about changing the world.
