Milkweed is an intimate, surprising piece that delves into the charged space between students and teachers, at the intersection of physics and theater, where knowledge and desire blur.
This poetic, multilayered world premiere by Ithaca playwright Wendy Dann explores the complicated, tender acts of teaching and learning, and will exquisitely unravel your understanding of time and space.
