The How and the Why

This intimate production features two brilliant characters – one in her fifties, one her twenties – each with her own take on the controversial debate surrounding the theory of evolution. In this funny, gripping new play, a mentor and her protégé bond and spar over the personal and professional consequences of their own diametrically opposed theories. Fast and witty, inspiring and provocative, this wry gem from Sarah Treem (of HBO’s In Treatment) is both engrossing and powerful.
