Natural History
In 2169, as wildfires consume the American West, environmental activists and partners-in-crime Jane and Clyde set out to steal a taxidermied bison from the American Museum of Natural History—only to discover it has already vanished. This darkly comic world premiere, written by Collin Van Son and directed by Chelsea Radigan, wrestles with American mythology, the tension between history and nostalgia, and the question of what is worth preserving when the past disappears. The play is described as a eulogy from the future about loss, legacy, and the scramble to rewrite the record.
