Frannie hits the pathetic rock-bottom when her girlfriend, Mack, disappears. Frannie’s friends, Seth and Bach attempt to get her over the post break-up hump by giving her a book about chaos theory and parallel dimensions. They resolve to build a machine to take them to one of these parallel dimensions where Frannie and Mack will unite, and they all will find peace and harmony with universe. Their journey progresses through different realities and levels of denial, with a laugh track and dance sequence, before a new woman, Josie, comes to steal Bach’s heart away from the project. The friends start to face the truths of adulthood, abandonment, and building a freaking cool machine in their living room.

Chaos Theory, a play seeking order

  • Claire Waldrop: Chaos Theory, a play seeking order

    I could not take my eyes away from this script. I suppose there's a universe where I die from that. I'm fine with that though. This play is a treat for actors and directors alike; wicked sharp, deeply funny, incredibly poignant, and potentially teaching complex quantum physics in an approachable way via relationship dynamics. Love. Love. Love.

    I love this play. It's inventive, magical, surprising, romantic, scientific, all rolled-up into a single play. Courtney has such a unique voice, and I am a huge fan!
