Walking in total darkness to immersion in a theatrical cosmos, viewers explore traces of themselves in starlight, the universe, and those who have been here before us.

Audiences have the opportunity to choose between a guided visit led by Andrew Schneider, or a self-led exploration.

The 2023 - 2024 Season at On the Boards has been curated by Rachel Cook.
