Playwright Karen Zacarías and director Sarah Rasmussen discuss themes and the creative process behind Legacy of Light at the McCarter Theatre Center. The production opens Sunday, March 23, 2025 and closes on Sunday, April 6, 2025.
In Princeton, New Jersey, a brilliant astrophysicist tries to become a mother.

From the writer of Native Gardens and Destiny of Desire comes a bright and funny new play about life, the universe, and parenthood.
