In 2012, researchers at Northwestern University concluded that when we recall a memory, we're not actually the recalling the memory, but rather the memory of the last time we remembered it, thus irreparably distorting our perception of the past. This is a play about that.With an offbeat yet authentic voice (and a structure to match), "Anderson Lena and the Things That Don't Matter" explores the unsettlingly distinct possibility that objective truth is about as real as a fluffy pink unicorn. It starts off simply enough: a girl sitting alone in her bedroom. But, much like life, this story is nowhere near as simple as it should be. Three characters, two timelines, and one over-analysis later, you'll leave questioning every memory you ever held dear. But, you know, in a cool way."Fall in love. Don't tell him. Leave for foreign country. Lose touch. Come home. Recount every last detail of prior interactions in a blind attempt to figure out how he feels. Lather. Rinse. Repeat."Starring Ayden Skye, Jared Isaac, and Emilia RayWritten by Ayden SkyeDirected by Mary Schaugh
