ABOUT
Â
How It Ends is an experimental performance work by Obie Lifetime Achievement Award-winning playwright Caridad Svich about theater, climate crisis, collective responsibility and the possibility of imagining another world.
​
There are almost no conventional actors. A Technician waits for a performance to begin, but the actors never arrive. Instead, members of the audience are asked to step into the missing roles and activate the script themselves.
