Starring: Devon Caraway, Justin Howard, Kyle Walters

Stage Manager: Emily Gasser


A country on the brink of war. A city wracked by ineffectual protests. An extraordinarily odd job interview. Faced with such perils, three young idealists do the only thing they can: fly to the Moon in a homemade rocketship.

"Mare Cognitum is about faith and magic, and theatergoers who give in to either[ ]or both will feel as if they've left this world for a time and flown to another." -Michael Crisculou, nytheatre.com
