In the late morning hours of May 10, 1994, the moon travelled a path across the sky, encountering the sun and eventually blocking out its light for one brief moment, creating an eclipse. But down below, in cities all across the United States, from Roswell, New Mexico to St. Louis, Missouri, to Bangor, Maine and everywhere in between, people had encounters of their own…encounters with friends and enemies, encounters with love and loss, encounters with…aliens? Against the backdrop of an eclipse, this vignette style play is comprised of twelve scenes, each named after an iconic song from the early 1990s. From a possible meeting with an extra-terrestrial in “Things That Make You Go Hmmm…” to the dawn of the internet in “Whoomp! There It Is”, to a Romeo and Juliet encounter between a doctor and a window washer in “Come To My Window”, to coping with the death of a grunge icon…and a friendship in “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” to an unlikely friendship between a troubled teen and a homeless person in “Under The Bridge”, these scenes and more use humor and heart to remind us that as we forge our own path in life, it’s our quest to be better humans that will eclipse all.
