Picnic Theatre Company: The Day the Earth Stood Still

  • Dupont Underground 19 Dupont Circle Northwest Washington, DC, 20036 United States (map)

6pm: Cocktails

7pm: Performance (90 minutes)

Picnic Theatre Company returns to Dupont Underground with an original parody of the Day The Earth Stood Still! In this celebrated 1950s classic, a UFO lands in Washington DC on the National Mall, with a message and an ultimatum for the White House and for the people of Earth that forces the world to wrestle with the most profound existential choice possible. Picnic Theatre Company imagines what happens the day after, as superpowers and developing nations, corporations, activists, and religious movements fight to determine the Earth’s response. How will they react? Vote for the ending of the play- the audience chooses the fate of humanity!
