OVERRIDE
by Elizabeth A.M. Keel
Directed by Bree Bridger
September 5-29, 2019
“Louise is a student at the prestigious Academy of Invention, attempting to construct a machine that can emulate human touch. But when her prototype goes haywire, she has to turn to her biggest competition for help: her neighbor Grav, who works on popular, commercial, food-based inventions. As the night evaporates around them, they race to solve the bugs in Louise's machine. Override is a sweet, sci-fi romantic comedy, and is a reminder about the power of contact through the body, heart, and mind.”
