Pyper
by Susanna Fournier
Directed by Leora Morris
March 11–28, 2026
Frederic Wood Theatre
Ten cyborg-AI teens try to build a time capsule to prove they exist in case they’re “retired” before graduation. Tracing their origins back to a mysterious piper in the town of Hamelin and an old puppet maker who discovers a talking block of wood, these algorithmic adolescents search for meaning in an ever-accelerating world of rapid obsolescence and hyperconnectivity. The Breakfast Club meets The Terminator in this angsty sci-fi odyssey about youth, identity, and what it means to be human in a digital-dependent world.
