Sievers' vision is fascinating, seemingly rooted with one foot firmly in the reality of very human characters while the other explores fantasy and the essence of a moment. This is a rich text for actors to mine from.

Deep Space keeps us playfully rooted in those moments in our 20s when every decision means life or death for our emotional landscapes. A play that questions family wounds. A play that keeps our found selves in natural conversation with our found family. A play that keeps us on our toes, not knowing what exactly will happen next because the structure is as unpredictable as life is. Most importantly, a play that leaves us with an optimistic view on the quest to lead full lives. All told through fun and lovable, relatable and modern, queer characters.

Deep Space was developed during The Strides Collective's 2021 Spring Virtual New Play Development Residency. Sievers is a deeply empathetic, insightful, and dynamic playwright who blends realism with out-of-this-world (literally!) themes beautifully. A fresh, innovative take on a queer road trip story that has audiences hooked within the first page, and won't let you go until the very last line.
