Sit-Calm

We don’t know much about Remain Calm, other than it’s a drama/comedy (a “dramedy,” if you will) about an ugly break-up, Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, and technology.

We don’t know much about Remain Calm, other than it’s a drama/comedy (a “dramedy,” if you will) about an ugly break-up, Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, and technology.

The performers will explore these seemingly random topics in a (hopefully) cohesive play written by locals Dyan W. Cavalli and Stephen Hotchner. The sans-sets-and-props reading is the first of its kind to grace the stage at MADCAP Theaters. A discussion about the nontraditional performance will follow.
