Eight Ball Theatre will present CLARA VS. INFINITY, a new play by Zack Rocklin-Waltch, running across the second, third, and fourth weekends of April 2026 at the Zephyr Theatre in Los Angeles.
The play follows 12-year-old Clara, who, after the death of her father, travels from Boston to Washington, D.C. to compete in a Pi Recitation Bee, hoping to win a $10,000 prize to support her mother. The story explores themes of grief, resilience, and imagination through Clara’s journey.
“Clara vs. Infinity is a play that comes to life with a brilliant ensemble. As a theatre company that develops and produces new ensemble-based plays, we gravitated towards the collaborative spirit that the play encourages,” said Artistic Director Audrey Forman. “Clara is a resourceful little girl that must make something out of nothing. The play asks the same of the artists...to transform a bare stage into Clara's vibrant world with nothing but our voices and bodies.”
Director Jamie Gallo added, “Clara vs. Infinity is a nuanced portrayal of a child's grief, and yet, this grief is universal: the Abyss haunts us all. Just like Clara, we are all trying to make meaning of senseless tragedy around us. LA theatre audiences deserve a story of unity and hope; by sharing Clara's journey, we hope they leave with her courage to face the infinite world beyond the theater doors.”
