The Blue Fugue
A grad student’s online personal ad lures a mysterious journalism student to his subterranean research lab under the pretense of an evening of “no strings attached” sex. But when a major global catastrophic event strikes the planet, their date takes on evolutionary significance and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Will they survive? What about the fish in the tank? And who is that woman pulling levers and playing the timpani? An epic, intimate, and downright hilarious comedy that spans over billions of years,boom explores the influences of fate versus randomness in the course of one’s life, and life as we know it on the planet.

Written by Missouri playwright Lanford Wilson and featuring a unique, IAT barebones production aesthetic,Talley’s Folly takes place in Lebanon, MO, in 1944. Matt Friedman, an accountant from St. Louis, has arrived to plead his love to Sally Talley. Bookish, intelligent, totally honest and delightfully funny, Matt refuses to accept Sally’s fears that her family will never approve of their marraige. Gradually, he convinces Sally that there is great possibility in their life together. A play about kindred spirits and finding hope in human relationships, Talley’s Folly is a touching play from one of Missouri’s very own.
