Come one, come all to a sparkling celebration of life, death, and cosmic connection! When Greg receives a terminal cancer diagnosis (and weird dream visitations from Greta Thunberg), he finally understands his true purpose and races to save Mother Earth as climate catastrophe looms. Meanwhile, Viv tries to hold it all together, but really just wants to stop time and hide under the covers with her husband. And through it all, our emcee, M, charts their own path while Dad is dying, life is a drag, and the world keeps spinning.
You Are Cordially Invited to the End of the World! proves that every family is their own ecosystem, as complex and beautiful as the Earth itself.
Why This Play Now?
This irreverent, laugh-out-loud experience speaks to the very real stakes of climate anxiety and grief without dwelling in hopelessness. You Are Cordially Invited to the End of the World opens opportunities to talk about climate activism in both global and hyperlocal ways, as well as how we support those we love through heartache and death.
