You Stupid Darkness!
by Sam Steiner
An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books
​
February 5 - March 1, 2026
Thursday-Saturday at 7:30pm
Sunday at 2pm
In a cramped, crumbling office, four volunteers spend a few hours every Tuesday night on the phone telling strangers that everything is going to be okay.
​
As the outside world disintegrates, they teeter on the edge of their own personal catastrophes. Their hopes and fears become entangled as they try, desperately, to connect with the callers and with each other.
​
Sam Steiner's You Stupid Darkness! is an urgent play about the struggle for optimism and community amid the chaos of a world falling apart.
​
Featuring actors Denise Hoey*, Angie Tennant*, Chris Brantley, and Shane Ruyle; and directed by Patrick Nims
