A Survival Guide to the Near-Post-Apocalyptic Future
Kitt is an exuberant teen who “dresses like a dirty orphan” and thinks a boy named Jane might grow up to be a serial killer. (That’s okay: he thinks the same of her.) Their unlikely friendship is cemented by their discovery that society is about to collapse into chaos: the ending of this world, and the beginning of another. The two grade-eights hijack their school assembly
to deliver an important message:
They will be dead in an hour,
the apocalypse will occur in five years,
and they’re here to train you how to survive.
What follows is “a wild, impressively choreographed romp featuring dance numbers and live music that is by turns hilarious, heart-rending and in small glimpses, beautiful...You won’t want to leave your seat.”–The Marble. At the heart of this show is a poignant exploration of the world today’s youth are inheriting, and what they’re prepared to do about it.
