About the Show

In this collaboratively-created play by blossoming theater company TV, the ensemble unpacks the longing one can feel for another time and place.

Childhood, years without war, early human history, a time when everyone enjoyed the outdoors and raised chickens and heard gossip from the neighbors, when strawberries were tiny and sour. With choral odes by Deepali Gupta, this whimsical show hops millennia in its exploration of what once was or never was at all.

Ambitious, Quirky, Thought-provoking, Funny, Clever

See it if You enjoy theater that experiments with form and tone. And is also pretty funny!

Don't see it if You prefer conventional modes of storytelling.

Ambitious, Hilarious, Quirky

See it if You enjoy playful, hilarious, truthful performance and like ambitious productions in intimate venues! Go along for the ride!

Don't see it if You prefer strong linear narrative and productions that take themselves too seriously.

"A dementedly daffy piece of fun...A series of three sketch-comedy-style vignettes performed by an excellent cast with did-they-really-just-do-that abandon...Running for only a few more performances, it will give you a warm glow in the fleeting moment it’s here, and in the depth of its young talent make you feel rosily optimistic about the future. This is the kind of memory you want to have."
