How to Catch Creation
May 02–May 26
  • By Christina Anderson
  • Produced in Association with Philadelphia Theatre Company
  • Directed by Nataki Garrett
FROM LOVE TO ART AND BACK AGAIN

In the mid-1960s, a young writer’s life turns upside down when her girlfriend drops some unexpected news. Even 50 years later, the reverberations of that moment, and its unexpected consequences, still echo in the intersecting lives of four individuals caught up in a rapidly changing world. This is a bittersweet story of finding and following our passions from Christina Anderson, winner of the Lorraine Hansberry Award. This world-premiere play that explores the universal act of creation—of life, of family, of art—spans space and time to inspire a new generation of makers and lovers.

Content Advisory: This lyrical story about love, second chances, and fatherhood includes some adult language and topics more appropriate for middle schoolers and beyond.

Approximate runtime is 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one intermission.
