THE NEXT STORM
by Thom Dunn
Directed by Godfrey L. Simmons, Jr.
Performed Nov 15-23, 2019
At the Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts, Cornell University
Featuring Rhodessa Jones
The Next Storm is a dark and humorous look at the impact that the climate crisis has had on our community. Set in the not-so-distant-future, our story follows an ensemble of characters as they face the struggle between apathy, anger, and action. Who’s gets to decide the course forward and what are we willing to sacrifice? What happens when students and bureaucrats, parents and developers, idealists and realist come head to head over the best course toward climate resiliency?
