8min20sec at Forager Theatre Company

8min20sec by Eliana Rubin is a collection of musical reckonings. It takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds for the sun's light to reach our Earth. In our story, the sun has just burned out and we explore how people reckon with their imminent demise. This brand new, original musical is composed of eight short stories woven together with Greek chorus style interludes all with different musical stylings. Featuring big, Broadway 11 o’clock numbers, silly, goofy, campy love songs and heartbreaking, reflective ballads each beginning when the sun is announced to have gone out. We witness different reactions to the world-ending news, but each story begs the question: how can we hold on when we have to let go?
