SPACEMAN
by Leegrid Stevens
Directed by Summer Wallace
REGIONAL PREMIERE
January 3 to February 16, 2025
SYNOPSIS
Astronaut Molly Jennis has embarked on an interplanetary expedition following her husband’s tragic, failed attempt to reach Mars. As the first to the Red Planet, she faces not only the dangers of solitude and the unknown frontier, but also the haunting reflections of her past decisions.
SPACEMAN is a weightless, full-sensory, surround-sound exploration of both the challenges of space travel and the uncharted future that awaits Molly at her Martian destination
