The Shorebound Swim With a One Click Kick: A Tragedy of Reason

Tickets:$10, $6 for Students, seniors, AEA Members and teachers

The Shorebound Swim with a One Click Kick: A Tragedy of Reason blends theater and philosophical science to create a surreal world of heightened language and blurred morals in which a genius removes himself from society and attempts to unlock the science behind the human experience; a boy gets his first taste of love, lust and betrayal and a desperate caretaker struggles to control her destiny. This gripping drama connects the cerebral with matters of the heart.

The cast of four actors will include William Kozy, Robin Madel, Nicko Libowitz and Robin Madel. The design team consists of set designer Tim McMath and sound designer Renee Levine.
