CRISPR THE MUSICAL

Finally, a musical about gene editing technology!

January 27th and 28th: A fast-paced, laugh-out-loud comedic musical by Lina Zikas and Duane Stanford.

Two gene-editing researchers in a struggling lab attempt to create a super-soybean plant to save their lab from being turned into a Sunglass Hut. Will they succeed? Will their rival lab take all the credit? Or will they accidentally destroy the world?

Featuring original songs and dance numbers, this show is perfect for nerds, comedy fans, and anyone who loves to laugh.
