Commissioned by the Ensemble Studio Theatre/Sloan Project Science & Technology Initiative. C-WIID (sea-weed) is The Incredible Climate-Change-Ending Plant!!, which is going to save the world, as soon as Dr. Kim Gonzalez actually makes it into a shelf-stable plastic resin and catapults this spunky start-up to aquaculture glory. Acronym-spouting CEO Cora has faith in her. New intern Star has faith in her. Marketing specialist Miranda has so much faith in her she's writing a one-person show about her miraculous journey to make seaweed plastic. There's just one problem: when Kim DOES finally invent the perfect shelf-stable resin and makes C-WIID the star of this year's huge Start-Up Festival, the team discovers that no one is ready to adopt it. How do our scientists deal with the truth that they made materials-engineering history--and no one cares?
