World Premiere
Rehearsals: June 18 – July 11, 2024

It’s 2027, and advances in Artificial Intelligence have brought the spunky startup VitalAI to the brink of launching the first humanoid robot doctor. Doctor Moloch is capable of instant MRIs, personalized genetics-based medicines, and single-cell early cancer detection. There’s only one problem: the good doctor cannot relate to his patients. When VitalAI brings in famous actress Serena Blaise to give him lessons in “being human,” she uncovers more human qualities than anyone bargained for, putting the future of humanity on the line. Directed by Briana O’Neal.

Seven new plays by Michigan playwrights will be selected for presentation in staged reading format from August 21-25, 2024. The deadline for submissions is January 1, 2024.

The email should include the playwright’s name, address, phone, and a two-sentence synopsis of the play.
Theatre NOVA focuses on new plays and playwrights and is dedicated to working with new and local playwrights to help them develop their craft and offer brand-new plays for audiences. The theatre created the Michigan Playwrights Festival to nurture Michigan playwrights and to develop full-length plays for future seasons.

Theatre NOVA is Ann Arbor’s resident professional new play theatre. Its mission is to raise awareness of the value and excitement of new plays and playwrights and provide resources for playwrights to develop their craft by importing, exporting, and developing new work. This activity is supported by the MICHIGAN ARTS AND CULTURE COUNCIL and the NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS.
