Constellarium

See it if you want huge imagination unleased in a future world with an undercurrent of oh boy is this relevant to today. Good for ages 8-100.

Don't see it if you need realistic stuff with a step-by-step plot.

See it if Your enjoy sci-fi, like cartoons and audience interaction, want to be pushed to look at our responsibility to our planet and each other,

Don't see it if You are uninterested in imaginative approaches to world topics, aren't interested in family theater or whimsy

Also This is a whimsical approach which might be fun for families with children between 8 and 11, warning it is a walk-up loft theater on 4th floor with many, many stairs, I was bemused by it, sometimes entertained and in the end found it to be a brief, one hour, somewhat enjoyable experience, somewhat thought provoking. One-person cast was very committed and energetic and partially won me over. Fun if you want to see something entirely different... Read more Read less

See it if you have kids ages 7-9, you want an intimate one-man show for families + you want to see how artists can blend politics into their work.

Don't see it if you don't want a one-man show with music that relates to current events or a show that is tailored for families but isn't watered down.

See it if you like pretty lights & don't mind a one-man show that is mostly a lecture.

And the story is delivered as a series of speeches given by the president of a distant planet who is hosting some now-homeless earthlings --those of us in the audience -- a form that is repetitious & dramatically inert.
