‘Utopian Hotline’ Calling: Do You Have an Answer? Theater Mitu's investigation into a better world proves an unexpectedly perfect fit beneath a Boston planetarium's dome.

In UTOPIAN HOTLINE, Brooklyn-based Theater Mitu created a show for the Charles Hayden Planetarium at the Museum of Science, Boston (among other partners), producing what writer @joeysims.bsky.social calls a "dreamlike meditation on unanswerable questions." www.americantheatre.org/2025/05/07/u...
