They are robots waiting to be purchased in a department store. So why does their story feel so deeply human?

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝘿𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 asks the questions we all carry with us. What does it mean to belong? What does it mean to be free? And is the life you want truly yours… or simply what you were made to want?

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝘿𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 opens 𝗧𝗢𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗥𝗢𝗪 on the Black Swamp Players stage. Grab your tickets before they are gone.

Is the life you want truly yours… or is it simply what you were made to want?

Some dreams are simple. A home. A family. Someone to call your own. Meet Kourtney Stierman as Ruby and Owen Minchau as Charlie, two Robotic Companions who spend their days waiting, hoping, and wondering if there is something more out there for them.
