Early in 2013, Tanya Barfield’s exploration of family legacy Blue Door (January 10-February 3) will be presented by Underground Railway Theater. The season’s second world premiere will be Operation Epsilon (March 7-April 28) by Alan Brody, a play about the American surveillance team who gauged how close the Nazis were to making an atomic bomb, directed by Andy Sandberg. To bring the season to a close, Catalyst Collaborative@MIT, a science-theater collaboration between Underground Railway Theater and MIT, will present Lisa Loomer’s poignant look at a modern family Distracted (May 9-June 2), directed by Megan Sandberg-Zakian.
