Theatre in the Park 2023
Sum Theatre presented “Zero Gravity” in Hampton Village on Friday, June 16th, 2023. The performance took us on a Sci-Fi exploration around climate breakdowns and what will happen if we don’t start changing the way we live on Mother Earth. There is “No Planet B” and if we continue to use up mother earths resources, what will be left for future generations. We took a journey with Sum Theatre as we watched Dr. Einstien Reez carry the weight of the world on his shoulders and try to come up with a solution to save his children and the rest of the world.
