First Light Performances

When a new telescope becomes operational, the initial images it sees are called First Light. For 17 years, the EST/Sloan Project has led a pioneering nationwide effort to commission, develop, and present hundreds of new plays that question and broaden the view of science in the popular imagination. Each play’s life onstage begins with the First Light festival. Join us for this year’s discoveries.

WHEN JANUARY FEELS LIKE SUMMER by Cori Thomas*

Presided over by the Hindu god Ganesh, a pair of teenagers become unexpected heroes, an immigrant accountant struggles with visibility, and two stifled romantics begin to stumble toward each other during one strangely warm winter in Central Harlem.
