Earth Day weekend at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, April 21 and 22 and at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 23 in the Warehouse Theatre at 3 Central Avenue in Wellsboro, the Women’s Project is presenting “The Moons of Jupiter” by Jessica Litwak, a leader in the field of creative activism and socially engaged theater.

The play takes place in the future. The global water shortage has sucked the earth dry. Water is only available through black market traffickers at impossible prices. The only thing left is vodka.

A female astrophysicist, celebrating her birthday in a bar, tries to buy a glass of water. She has been working on an instrument that retrieves water from space.

Climate change can be a tough subject to address, but it’s never been as entertaining as it is in “The Moons of Jupiter,” as the Greek gods try to sort it all out.

Zeus has a plan to abandon earth entirely, but his three daughters, Aphrodite, Athena and Artemis make a pact to help the female astrophysicist save it.

Athena provides four scientists (Galileo, Newton, Darwin and Einstein) to help. Artemis and Aphrodite try other techniques, but nothing works.

Mythology, sci-fi and rap songs are woven throughout the play. “There is zany humor and dark intensity, too, as the history of science, the future of planetary travel, and the courage and necessity of looking toward the unknown for solutions are explored in this play,” said Director Lilace Guignard.

Tickets for “The Moons of Jupiter” are $16 for adults and $8 for youth 18 and under.

To buy tickets for the show on April 21, 22 or 23, go to hgp.booktix.org.
