FAMILY FRIENDLY PREVIEW: Moonshot: A Statistically Insignificant Musical
Parents of infants and toddlers are invited to bring the whole family to see the show at our Family Friendly Preview! Movement and noise are welcome—we treasure our young audiences, and are happy to offer this preview so that families with toddlers and infants are able to see the show. This show is also a preview, meaning that the show is receiving its finishing touches with a test audience before opening night launches it the next day. Because of the noisier environment, and because it’s a preview, we invite you to Pay What You Can. Each seat will indicate the value it is sold for at performance dates, but we ask you to give what you can (often people have given $15 per person). We encourage anyone without small children to attend another performance so that these seats can be used by those with small, wiggly little ones. If you have a large family and would like to bring all your children to the show, we encourage you to come to this preview!
Life, for Melvin, is as predictable as he can make it. In fact, he’s working as an actuary, to create a world in which everyone around him is focused on avoiding risks. But one day Christa walks into his life and… life doesn’t feel very predictable anymore. She isn’t something he can write off. When his doctor calls him on the same day with a life-altering diagnosis, Melvin is faced with a decision he’s not likely to forget: will he spend the rest of his short and statistically insignificant life avoiding all risk, or will he take a chance on all the things he’s been missing out on (like asking out a girl, reconnecting with old friends, or even going to the moon)?
