Single Carrot Theatre Presents NATURAL SELECTION 10/1-31

In the Baltimore premiere of Natural Selection by Eric Coble, Henry Carson is in trouble. As the consistently flustered employee of Culture Fiesta, a theme-park of the near future where humans are exhibitions and "culture" is inhaled like funnel cake, it's up to Henry to save his job by finding the one thing his corner of the park desperately needs: A Real Live Navaho. At the behest of his boss and to the chagrin of his wife, Henry takes off to the Western frontier alongside a shell-shocked buddy, and what he returns with changes him and the world around him for good.
Playwright Eric Coble was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and raised on the Navaho and Ute reservations of Colorado and New Mexico. His plays have been produced at the esteemed Humana Festival, the Kennedy Center and the Edinburgh and New York Fringe Festivals. He was recently commissioned by the Cleveland Playhouse to adapt the story of Huck Finn.

Coble's knack for humor and sincerity combined with biting social commentary have made him a widely admired and internationally recognized playwright. He has been the recipient of national grants and awards and continues to write plays and radio programs.

Natural Selection is part social satire, part morality play, part odyssey. Coble's ability to send a message without ever preaching is both thought provoking and highly entertaining. At the story's core is a friendship, one that tests cultural boundaries and reignites a marriage.
"Natural Selection is a comment on the myth and misogyny ingrained in our culture," says director Nathan Fulton. "The idea of 'Cowboy Ethics', and the responsibilities assigned to a man who goes it alone, does what a man has to do, and becomes the ever vigilant domestic guardian our society calls upon during any time of crisis", he continues. Those themes, intertwined with observations on culture, technology and our present state in the Western World make up the rollicking ride of Natural Selection.
Single Carrot Theatre's production of Natural Selection runs from October 1st -October 31st, and is the first full-length production of their fourth season.
