THE RINK AT THE END OF THE WORLD
by Megan Tabaque

March 20 – April 10, 2027

When an entire country club of athletes get taken out by a rogue bout of measles, a motley crew of mall-rink figure skaters find themselves on a flight to Croatia to compete in the World Synchronized Figure Skating Championships. As they train, complain, destroy, and rebuild each other on their quest to achieve the impossible, something even darker looms on the edges of the global stage: a nuclear arms race. Megan Tabaque's wildly original new play is funny, fierce, and captures exactly what it feels like to be young right now, when the world outside feels like it's losing its mind and you still have practice in the morning.

This play asks the hard questions, like: Where is Croatia again? What the hell is Putin's problem? Why is Tall Heather Co-Captain and not me? Where can we find relief and the strength to go on when it feels like the world is only out to destroy us?
