The Show


"On the Verge or The Geography of Yearning" by Eric Overmyer is the intrepidly comedic adventure of three Victorian ladies trekking their way through that most treacherous of terrains: modernity.

The play opens in Terra Incognita, circa 1885-1955. Three female, time-traveling explorers bushwhack their way through plains, jungles, and icebergs, encountering many strange and exciting characters along the way. Tea with a cannibal, anyone?

Throughout their troubling, bizarre, (though always humorous) journey, they discover more about themselves than could ever be defined by time, location, or unexplored destiny.
