A Play For the Living in a Time of Extinction premiered at the Baltimore Center Stage in 2021. It was also produced in Switzerland in a carbon neutral production designed by renowned Director Katie Mitchell which used men on bicycles to power the electrical grid. Our conversation will explore Miranda’s inspirations for the project and how the new production at Centaur has influenced her relationship with the play. We will also talk about her company LubDub Theatre Co.  and their unique mandate which focuses on animating stories of science, magic and art.
