WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
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?

If Ashlin Halfnight's Artifacts of Consequence, now being presented by the Electric Pear Company at the Wild Project, were a novel, it would be the sort of book that publishers would release in late May and proclaim to be a "beach read." And like those books, the play is satisfying with just enough smarts to make it a guilt-free diversion, despite the fact that the story doesn't completely add up.
Set in a futuristic underwater bunker (an ominously realistic scenic design from Jennifer de Fouchier), the play centers on four characters responsible for saving relics of humankind's past. The no-nonsense Minna (Rebecca Lingafelter) is in charge of operations and Ari (Sara Buffamanti) acts as h[...]
