The Shepherds’ Singularity

Cambridge YMCA Theater 820 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA

Come On Over Ensemble Theater presents the world premiere of THE SHEPHERDS' SINGULARITY, a collaboratively devised, physical-theater-driven, futuristic play-with-music featuring tales of hardship, terrible weather, time travel, technology, talking animals, miracles, angels, and singularities. THE SHEPHERDS' SINGULARITY is based on The Second Shepherds' Play, a medieval comedy featuring three English shepherds who time-travel to Bethlehem and witness the birth of Jesus Christ.  Come On Over has incorporated this medieval legend into a futuristic play about the technological Singularity: the premise that artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence by 2030, rendering human beings obsolete.  Shepherds, technology experts, Bethlehem Pennsylvania, old-school computer games, angels, scorned wives, and sheep collide in this fantastic journey through time, space, and what it means to be human. Directed by Wanda Strukus Music Composed and Directed by Nate Tucker for hammered dulcimer, banjo, guitar, flute, and harmonica. December 3rd - December 13th Cambridge YMCA Theater 820 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA Wednesday - Friday at 8pm Saturdays at 2pm and 8pm Sundays at 2pm Tickets are $25 for regular admission and $15 for students and seniors.
