Photo Flash: Inside Rehearsal for THE AURORA PROJECT, Opening Friday

The Navigators, a Feminist Science Fiction Theater Company, opens their first show THE AURORA PROJECT this Friday! Access Theater NYC, June 2-17 at 8 pm. Scroll down for a sneak peek at the company in rehearsal!

The Aurora Project follows Constantine, a robot indistinguishable from human beings, and Nora, a genetically enhanced explorer, as they begin an endless voyage across the uncharted universe. When Nora decides to go against Constantine's wishes and visit a strange new planet, she is quickly infected with an incurable illness. To delay losing the only person he loves to a gruesome death, Constantine takes it upon himself to suspend them both in cryo-freeze. Thus, the pair begins a kind of chemical induced time warp, spanning millions of years as they wait for the universe to get smarter, and a cure to Nora's illness to be found.
