“The Ever After” at The Crane Theater

Theatre Pro Rata is producing a new play by local playwright Rachel Teagle: “The Ever and After,” through Sunday, Dec. 22, at The Crane Theater, 2302 Kennedy St. NE.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the play follows the adventures of a super intelligent cockroach and his young human ward as they sift through the remnants of a lost civilization trying to gather knowledge. Along the way they unearth an abandoned bot who raises questions about consciousness, autonomy, and friendship.

Performances are Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 7:30 pm. There will be an ASL/AD performance, Sunday, Dec 8, at 7:30 pm, and a pay-what-you-can performance, Monday, Dec. 9, at 7:30 pm. Tickets: $14-$41, sliding scale at the door, online at TheatreProRata.org/new/box-office/, or reserve tickets at 612-234-7135 or info@theatreprorata.org.
