The World Premiere of
ARTIFACTS OF CONSEQUENCE. A play by Ashlin Halfnight, directed by Kristjan Thor.
In a crumbling, burnt-out America, an underwater bunker stores the relics of our everyday lives: Barbie, Moby Dick, Twinkies and bond traders are all preserved in a labyrinthine warehouse, shelved in boxes, awaiting the stabilization of the continent above. One woman is charged with safeguarding our cultural artifacts for the rebuilding of a great society... but the walls are leaking, resources are running out, and her wide-eyed assistant is hell-bent on losing her virginity to the first man she can find. As the facility nears collapse, it's clear that vast quantities of our legacy will be lost... What would you save?
