GAPS IN THE FOSSIL RECORD

a Word Premiere by Matt Letscher

April 14, 2016 – May 28, 2016

When Jane brings home the much older, soon-to-be father of her unborn child, Mom thinks that she’s kidding. What starts as a practical joke turns into a thoughtful exploration of what it is that we pass down through the generations. Is it more than just DNA?

PRESS QUOTES

“Letscher has written an artful story, bringing imagination, deep feeling and rich color to a mere photograph of two skeletons in a lover’s embrace..”

Lansing City Pulse

“’Gaps’ surprising twists and turns, and particularly its jolting final act, make it feel simultaneously realistic and fantastical.”

– Encore Michigan

“Director Guy Sanville understands how to work with this material. The audience is never sure which brushstroke will reveal the bigger picture, and it is this tension that keeps us leaning forward into Letscher’s precisely crafted dialog.”
