About The Theory of Relativity
The Theory of Relativity is a collection of seemingly unrelated songs, scenes, and monologues that come together to show the interconnected nature of humanity. These stories center around finding your true identity and discovering your place in the world. From falling in and out of love to allergies, the wide array of characters take the audience on a journey in search of the wonders of human connection. A huge thank you to Gilles Chiasson, our Theatre and Dramatic Writing teacher for putting this production together. Congratulations to our cast and crew for an amazing performance!
