About the Show

Twins reunite in a remote cabin, torn between Earth and space as old conflicts resurface.

In *Walden*, “Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.” This powerful new play by rising star Amy Berryman explores the vast space between two estranged twin sisters, Stella and Cassie. Raised by their astronaut father to be NASA scientists, their paths diverge—one grounded on Earth, the other just returned from the moon as they reunite in a remote cabin, old conflicts resurface, forcing them to confront their pasts and choose between the pull of duty on Earth and the allure of the stars.

Directed by Tony Award®️ nominee Whitney White, *Walden* is an intelligent, soulful drama about family, ambition, and the future of humanity.
