Continuity by Bess Wohl at Van Every, Mint Museum Randolph

It’s magic hour in the New Mexico desert as an exhausted film crew races against the setting sun to shoot their blockbuster (but artsy) action movie, which takes place on an arctic (Styrofoam) ice floe, and features an ecoterrorist plotting a bombing mission to save all of humankind (supposedly). As the clock ticks and the desert sun beats down on the not-so-frozen landscape, personalities clash, artistic vision meets Hollywood demands, and the gap between fiction and science grows wider than ever. A dark but hilarious “play in six takes,”. CONTINUITY interrogates the role of storytelling in a world on the brink of actual environmental crisis. Directed by Jessica Zingher, featuring Becca Worthington, Jennifer Adams, Renee Welsh-Noel, William Reilly, Alex Aguilar, Dan Grogan, and Caroline Magee. Design team: Evan Kinsley, Nathaniel Gillespie, Colin Harden, Tim Beany, and Hazel Doherty.
