About this event
Join the Theatre Department for their first production of the Fall Semester! At Boynton’s department store, Robotic Companions (RCs) Ruby and Charlie want nothing more than to be purchased by a human family and brought to a loving home. But as RC appliances, they have no control over when this happens. Ruby and Charlie wait patiently, anxiously, eagerly, imagining the day when they might be bought… until a brand-new 6th generation RC, Violet, arrives at the appliance store. Violet seems to feel and understand things that Ruby and Charlie do not, fueling deep uncertainty in their otherwise ordinary lives. Then, when Charlie is finally purchased and taken away, Violet desperately tries to sway Ruby towards escape, rebellion, and the dream of revolution. Even as she is moved into the clearance section, Ruby still wishes for a family, while Violet risks everything for a taste of freedom. Written by Dr. Bella Poyton Directed by Jonel Langenfeld
