A provocative question lies at the heart of Spare Parts, a daring new play by acclaimed writer David J. Glass, making its world premiere this spring. Set against the backdrop of radical aging research funded by a billionaire's quest for eternal life, Spare Parts confronts the blurred lines between science, identity, and morality — and asks the question few dare to say out loud: what does it cost to live forever?
From the writer of Love + Science, Glass has brought the scientific community something to treasure: a play in which scientists do realistic research while embracing their humanity. It's about time.” Science.org. Spare Parts is a sharp, darkly funny, and deeply unsettling new play that collides cutting-edge science with unchecked ambition. Spare Parts explores power, consent, memory, and the lengths humanity will go to outrun death.
“As a scientist and a playwright, I'm drawn to stories where possible discovery collides with consequences for humanity. Spare Parts lives in that collision—where progress, power, and personal identity are inseparable, and every potential solution comes with a dangerous cost.” playwright, David J. Glass
The creative team includes Scott Penner (Scenic), Ryan Gamblin (Sound), Zack Lobel (Lighting), Amanda Roberge (Costume), and Sean Frank (Props). Spare Parts will run from February 26 to April 10, 2026. Opening night is March 8, 2026.
