We love seeing shows at the Gerding Theater in the old (renovated) Armory Building. This was no exception.
While long at 3+ hours (two intermissions) the play "explores the birth of the U.S. space program, its employment of former-Nazi rocket scientists, and their surprising intersection with the Civil Rights Movement. Using the U.S. mission to the moon as a symbol of our country’s greatness, Apollo probes deep into the question: what did we sacrifice to become the America we are today? And was it worth it? A a kaleidoscopic array of theatrical methods (movement, text, video projection, music), reveals the costs and ambiguities of human aspiration and progress."
