Todd Rosenthal’s fascinating design mirrors the interconnectivity of the characters, finished on all four sides, shifting exquisitely on two nearly concentric turntables with the evolving scenes to he piercing tones of Justin Ellington’s original score. The contemporary costumes by Jenny Mannis glimmer under Allen Lee Hughes intricate lighting design.
“How To Catch Creation” evolved from a staged reading at the 2017 Goodman Theatre New Stages Series, a testiment to the theatre’s long-standing commitment to the development of new works and the high-caliber emerging playwrights like Christina Anderson who are creating them.
At the core of this work is the idea that we are all authors of our own story from its conception and birth to whatever comes next. The story that we are meant to tell, that gives us meaning, purpose and leaves behind a legacy, is unique to each us. Sometimes we must soldier through to whatever scenario is on the other side. And then there are times that we must just let go, lead with the heart, and trust our gut. Either way creation is a process that requires others. We cannot do it alone.
