The A.R.C. Trials is a new sci-fi play set in a classroom aboard an interstellar ship where the instructors are Artificial Intelligence. Students are taught about 'Earth That Was' and 'Tierra Nueva', where they're headed, but something isn't quite right aboard the spaceship. Important information is missing from the kids' lessons, questions go unanswered, memories are missing from their heads, and as the students get older they disappear from the ship and from each others memories. It's up to a young girl on board named Cressida to get to the bottom of the mystery before it's too late.

Seeking: ANDI is a 20-30 year old person of color. Gender is open. Andi is the older sibling of Veronica (a friend of Cressida who has ended up being reprogrammed). Andi still lives on earth and was around ten years old when Veronica was born and subsequently given up by their parents to the corporation running The A.R.C. Trials. Andi grew up, knowing that they had a little sister going through these experiments, somewhere in orbit, and has worked to infiltrate the company and try to help Cressida and the others through hacking and hidden transmissions from down on earth.

Mudlark Theater brings youth and adult performers together to create a new kind of theater. Through new works and original adaptations, we produce plays where the experiences of young people are central. We believe that by having intergenerational casts our storytelling is elevated, enabling our performers to more deeply portray the relationships that exist between adults and children.
