Sarah Saltwick's beautiful play The Caldera is timely and infinitely produceable. Navigating questions about abortion, autonomy, friendship and love the play never feels heavy-handed or simplistic. These are complex characters navigating complex questions with humor and courage. Sarah's slow-burn into theatrical magic lets the play stay grounded in reality while reaching into the mythic.

God, there was a time when this play read like sci-fi. It CERTAINLY doesn't now. A prescient play, that unwinds slowly, managing to feel truthful, grounded and mythic all at once. It's deft, and an interesting angle in on a topic that a LOT of us are trying to figure out how to make theater about.

We are pleased to support this play! It was a Finalist for the 2023 New Works Festival at Kitchen Dog Theater in Dallas, Texas.
