Our first Muse Project of the year is this Friday, November 1st:
✨"The Future is Now" by ✨

This NEW play is being performed as a staged reading and as a part of the development process, you will have the unique opportunity post-show to provide feedback for the author.

🕝4:30-6:00PM
Verser Theatre
Admission = FREE

"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.
