  • Claudia Haas: Things I Learned While Careening Toward the Center of the Universe

    I love the idea of families as small universes. Philip Middleton Williams cements that idea with his travellers flying in the sky in our own universe to visit their small universe. And then there’s Star Trek to just tie it together. A lovely little gem of connections forged and missed and how today we travel because our small universes are expanding - yes, just as our universe is. Clever and sweet.

  • Nora Louise Syran: Things I Learned While Careening Toward the Center of the Universe

    A lovely short play with some amusing physical humor, easy staging and mechanical airplane malfunctions to amuse actors and audience alike. A little gem for the holidays.

  • Sam Heyman: Things I Learned While Careening Toward the Center of the Universe

    There was a time when humanity believed our planet was the center of the universe. Even as we've become more 'worldly,' mankind is still somewhat self-centered and positions the center of their own personal universe someplace close to home. Philip Middleton Williams reminds us that our paths around the sun may bring us closer and further away from our center, but it is the connections we make along the way that make the ride bearable, even when flight plans go awry. A tender, human play.
