Robot Uprising

As RUR enters its final weekend, the Main Stage at Oddfellows Playhouse is just getting warmed up, with productions of Galileo and Santaland Diaries getting set to open in December. The last two performances of RUR are set for Nov. 19-20. Both shows begin at 7:30 p.m.

RUR (which stands for Rossum's Universal Robots) tells the story of the Rossum Company's quest to solve the world's labor demand by creating an android workforce, so that humanity can sit back and enjoy an easier life. Rossum's Robots look and sound like humans, but are made of manufactured flesh. The inevitable robot uprising and its results set the stage for the exploration of relevant ethical questions about the progress of science and the value of jobs.


Tickets are still available for this science fiction tale, staged by the Teen Repertory Company, by calling 860-347-6143 or emailing tickets@oddfellows.org
