Invaders of Mathmatica begins its four performance run this Saturday, February 8, at 2 p.m. This original play featuring art, math, space travel, princesses and a less than truthful ruling council is written for young audiences, but can be enjoyed by kids of all ages.

On the planet of Mathmatica, math and science are revered above all else, but their culture has advanced without artistic expression and with a fear of outsiders. The planet has shut itself off from other worlds, figuratively and literally.

But when three outsiders crash on the surface bringing with them music, art and dance, the princess of Mathmatica begins to question the logic of their isolationist tendencies and the history she’s always been taught.

Invaders of Mathmatica runs over two weekends: February 8-9 and February 15-16 at the Bughouse Theater in the NorthCenter neighborhood of Chicago. All performances begin at 2 p.m., but the doors will open early so our attendees can help us design the show’s set each performance. G.E.T. ready to dream up what the world of Mathmatica might look like.

The cast is Kendal Romero as Princess V, Peter G. Leondedis, as King Algebra, D'Angelo Smith as Digit, Sasha Vulovic as Sway, Sam Campos as Hue and Gabriella Smurawa as Aria. Sarah Beth Johnson and Julia Namm are the understudies.

General admission tickets for adults are $20; general admission tickets for students and children is $10. The show takes place during Chicago Theatre Week — an annual celebration of the rich tradition of theatre-going in Chicago. As such, there are a limited number of discounted Theatre Week tickets remaining with the code CTW25 at checkout.
