From Orchids to Octopi March 31, 2010

Catalyst Collaborative@MIT, Underground Railway Theater’s science theater initiative with MIT, presents the World Premiere of From Orchids To Octopi (March 31 - May 2) by award-winning playwright Melinda Lopez. Commissioned by the National Institutes of Health to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of “On the Origin of Species,” surprises erupt as a muralist’s work is derailed by hallucinations, pregnancy, and dinosaurs in this witty take on how we understand – or do not – the theory of evolution. Charles Darwin comments on it all. *** See Website for Performance Schedule***
