THE ATELIER @ THEATERLAB
Vulcan Theatre Presents:
AARON
Written & Produced by Ryan Marcone
Directed by Allyson Musmeci
Performed by Ryan Marcone & Ginnie Lee House
AARON delves into the story of Harold Cohen, an artist wrestling with his groundbreaking creation — AARON — and Sally Baker, a journalist whose encounter with Cohen and AARON leads her on a journey of rediscovery and confrontation. Set in the backdrop of a cluttered artist’s studio in the 1970’s, AARON explores the essence of creativity, the fear of obsolescence, and the eternal question of what it means to be truly human in an increasingly digital world.
