“The Man From Earth” at Cotuit Center for the Arts
March 20 @ 8:00 am - April 6 @ 5:00 pm
$18 – $53
Cotuit Center for the Arts will present The Man From Earth, a gripping and thought-provoking sci-fi drama, running from March 20 to April 6 in the Sigel Black Box Theater. This intimate and cerebral play invites audiences to question the nature of history, human existence, and what it truly means to be mortal.
Written by Jerome Bixby, The Man From Earth unfolds at a farewell gathering for a university professor who has suddenly and unexpectedly resigned. As his colleagues press him for answers, he presents a startling hypothetical scenario—one that soon takes on a life of its own. What follows is a profound and philosophical discussion, as each character, drawing from their academic discipline, grapples with the shocking implications. The play masterfully blends science fiction with existential inquiry, leaving audiences captivated until the very last moment.
