AUDITIONS WILL BE COLD READS FROM THE SCRIPT

Synopsis: X≠X by Steven Patrick

Performance dates: April 16 thru May 3, 2026

When an eccentric history professor writes the paradoxical equation “X ≠ X” on his classroom board, it sparks a viral academic and philosophical upheaval. As students, media, and donors obsess over its meaning, the Dean finds himself confronting faith, science, grief, and the nature of reality itself. Blending satire and metaphysics, X ≠ X questions whether what we see—and who we are—can ever truly be equal to itself.
