Three brave souls - a Hollywood actor, a leading scientist, and a college student - are chosen to take a one-way mission to Mars, in hopes that they can be one of the first colonizers on the red planet. The launch goes according to plan. Not much else does.

    A new world will be opened up on this mission to Mars as things don't exactly go according to plan. How will they navigate it? Engaging and well done.

    This science-fiction suspense drama gives you high stakes, compelling characters, well-calibrated tensions, and moments of deeply relatable humor and vulnerability. When the old world is falling apart, the better world you strive for is suddenly in grave doubt, and your sources of information and authority can’t be trusted, how do you keep going? For a play written in 2015, it feels uncomfortably on-point here in the year 2020. My lesson: Listen to Kari Bentley-Quinn.

    Character-driven suspenseful science fiction -- Kari is a wonderful writer; this play is full of big ideas and small lovely moments between these flawed and interesting people.
