Eliza Clark
"A garden of comedy [...] Future Thinkingis elaborate, modern, and entertaining." - The Orange Curtain Review
Middle-aged super fan Peter finds himself in a makeshift interrogation room at the mercy of Comic Con security after violating the restraining order placed against him by his favorite television starlet. Meanwhile, spoiled starlet Chiara is holed up in a hotel suite with her stage mom and bodyguard, trapped by the demands that come with being a rising star. Peter is determined to fulfill his destiny: a meeting with the twenty-three-year-old where he can deliver her an important and mysterious message. All Chiara wants is for her mom and her bodyguard to get lost, preferably together. Everyone has a fantasy, and soon they’ll collide with each other, and with reality.
Future Thinking premiered at South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa, CA in March 2016 under the direction of Lila Neugebauer.
Hotel rooms rented out for a Comic Book/TV/Movie convention.
