Futureproof
by Lynda Radley
Cathy Thomas-Grant, Director
In a desperate attempt to keep his company afloat, Robert Riley, owner of Riley's Odditorium, tries out a new marketing strategy: Will audiences pay to see his company of genuine wonders become just like them? This band of traveling performers have to decide if they want to fit in or stand out in this incredibly insightful play about identity and the capacities of the human spirit.

Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three individuals-a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant, and a daring young Harlem musician-are united by their courage, compassion, and belief in the promise of the future. Together, they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America.
