"The Future is Now" by Amaya Hardin follows Arley Hays, a scattered young artist drawn into a surreal game show hosted by the eccentric Magic Man. Faced with two contrasting futures—one focused on career success and the other on family life—Arley must make a life-altering decision.

Blending humor, whimsy, and introspection, the play explores themes of ambition, identity, and personal fulfillment, while Arley grapples with the pressure of choosing her path.
