Continuity is described as follows: "A sheet of ice sits in the desert of New Mexico. A mad eco-terrorist plants a bomb in order to save humankind. A beleaguered film crew tries to get in one last shot before losing the light. In Continuity, storytelling and science collide with hilarious and devastating consequences. The play asks, 'How do we keep going when hope can seem as fictional as a Hollywood ending?' and also, 'What's for lunch?'"
