Cloud 9
We must resist this dark female lust.

The Obie Award Winning Comedy
by Caryl Churchill
Directed by Mark Pinkosh
Assistant Directed by Kaitie Warren
Cloud 9 is a sharp weapon in Caryl Churchill's fight against silence and injustice. Targeting gender stereotypes, sexuality, race relations, and prejudices deeply imbedded in our societal norms, this Obie Award winning comedy will hit the audience with playful challenges. Gender, age, and race are cross-cast, while the script’s jump across eras begs the question: have the imperialist values of the British Empire truly faded from modern society? In this unabashedly unique comedy, empires will crumble. Homosexuality will be accepted. Women will speak.
**Mature content - no children admitted.**
