This 70-minute comedy takes the audience on a unique theatre experience from the best seats in the house...your own! On a Saturday night three years into quarantine, three college students are enjoying a typical night 'out'.

Their given circumstances complicate this, but sometimes, it's nice to have a dream.

Space 55, the champion of Phoenix's alternative theatre scene for 12 years, is kicking off the summer with a new play about friendship, sex, and commas - 'The Power of Punctuation' by Natalie Margolin, directed by Louis Farber. Receiving its Off Broadway premiere in 2016, New York Times' reviewer Laura Collins-Hughes described Margolin's work as a 'smart, well-acted play, clever at delineating competing demands: the emotional intimacy of friendship and the privacy required to develop, or even dream of, attachments elsewhere... It's a surprisingly incisive take on a time of life when newfound sexual freedom and large quantities of alcohol can wreak havoc on your ability to judge what matters most.'
