Constellations at The Sherry Theater

Collaborative Artists Ensemble is excited to close its 15th season with a fresh take on the popular Constellations by Nick Payne. The timeless themes of love, connection, loneliness and mortality are explored through the lens of the multiverse where every choice that is made (and not made) creates an infinite number of realities that exist alongside each other. After their first chance encounter at a barbecue, the lives of Marianne, a theoretical physicist, and Roland, a beekeeper, play out along a myriad of different paths. The audience witnesses the boundless potential for meaningful connection, heartbreaking sorrow and multiple possibilities in between. What makes this production unique is Collaborative Artists Ensemble seeks to enhance the audience experience by converting the theater lobby into an extension of the Multiversal Viewing Chamber in which they will witness the play. In this Multiversal Laboratory, audience members will be invited to interact with objects and artifacts depicting the various realities of the characters’ lives.
