About the Show

Sex. Drugs. Organic farming. This new drama explores the limits of human connection and the costs of utopia .

When temporarily homeless Robin hitchhikes her way to an eco-village seen online, all she wants is a warm meal, a place to sleep, and some new friends. Instead, she finds a parallel universe, where survival skills and New Age optimism collide with sexual competition. When Robin falls for Jake, a brilliant but tormented handyman, their connection sets off a series of events that reveal the limits of human connection and the costs of utopia.

Please note that the Theatre at St. Clement's is not wheelchair accessible. The theater is located up a flight of stairs.

Ambitious, Edgy, Quirky

See it if You are a child of the hippie era. It reminded me a lot of what communal living might have been like with different personalities.

Don't see it if If you don't like a show with a lot of expletives and sexual situations. Best appreciated if you were of the hippie era.

Dramatic, Relevant, Resonant

See it if you enjoy plays with young enthusiastic casts and characters who are lost and looking for a place to belong and a purpose in life.

Absorbing, Confusing

See it if You don't like musicals. It is straight acting. Acting was good. Staging was good.

Don't see it if You like straight acting.

Critic Reviews (1)

“Nir’s utopia-in-the-wilderness yarn ‘Eco Village’, is inept...With turgid writing and overacting...Thinly written characters in clichéd situations are a challenge for the actors who all go full throttle with their forceful characterizations...There’s not much in the way of plot other than behavioral incidents and Nir fleshes out her characters with a bare minimum of biographical details...Other than serving as a showcase for its emerging cast, 'Eco Village' doesn’t make much of an impact.”
