Join Loud Fridge Theatre Group for the culmination of San Diego's most interactive new play development program: New Year New Draft! In February, the audience selected one scene from Nick Scutti's "(No) Exit to Mars" as they play they wanted to see more of, and now the full script is ready to share. Celebrate a new work from a local playwright and be the first to hear this satirical space comedy! About "(No) Exit to Mars": It’s the not-too-distant-future, and Earth can barely support life, so an eccentric tech billionaire blasts off in a spaceship to colonize Mars. Traveling alongside him are his much-younger wife, his over-eager assistant and her skeptical husband, and an advanced AI program. When the hyper-sleep pods malfunction, however, all four humans will have no choice but to get along with each other in cramped quarters with dwindling supplies throughout the entire seven month journey. Interweaving class, climate change, sex, and technology, this dark comedy asks, “How much further can we take all this?” And, “whose fault is this, really?” Visit: https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?show=298676&pr=1 Loud Fridge Theater Group on Instagram and Facebook
