Declan's identity was stolen so the government deleted it, his boss gave him a new one but it feels kinda wonky. Audra just found out that her mom has been paying people to be friends with her since high school, she's in her 30s. In the midst of all this, they get sucked into the popular self-help movement, HOPE'S SPRING ETERNAL, as it starts to take control of the nation.

    A bracing blend of absurdity, dark social critique and humor, this play challenges us to reexamine what we value, what we aspire to, and who we choose to lead us.

    An exciting, hilarious and terrifying rush, constantly upending expectations. O'Donnell strides through themes of identity and social stratification, as his characters lean into a mind-blowing self-help discipline that echoes, lampoons and challenges systems you'll recognize. A wild ride, but readily staged and a great opportunity.

    A strange and exhilarating journey of self discovery and breaking from the mold in a world that values sameness. Weirdly funny and very scary.
