I don’t know about you, but the phrase “anti-senescence” was new to me😂 We love seeing plays, but we also love learning more about artists; Thank you so much to Lisa for sharing!

KAIROS 🤍🐌🕰️
By Lisa Sanaye Dring
Directed by Jesca Prudencio
A National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere
April 4-28, 2024
Kairos is the story of two people falling in love during a tectonic shift in society. Their nascent relationship is tested by the advent of Prometheus, a procedure that grants immortality to a select few. What happens to commitment, meaning, and care when linear time breaks open? At once both a dystopian science-fiction play and a dark-comedy love story, Kairos is a deeply sensitive investigation of two humans whose ideal “happily-ever-after” is terrifyingly outpaced by relentless technological and societal upheaval.
Kairos was originally developed as part of the Geffen Writers' Room 2021/2022. Kairos is produced at East West Players as part of a National New Play Network (NNPN) Rolling World Premiere. Other Partner Theaters are Know Theatre of Cincinnati (Cincinnati, OH) and Theatre Nova (Ann Arbor, MI). Supported in part by the S. Mark Taper Foundation.
