This new play written by theater major Scottie Gussler ’23 is a story of unticking time and what happens when the clocks freeze. When a door opens for teen protagonist Christian, he takes it, leaving the world as he knew it. As he makes his way through a new realm, he meets a cast of characters who help him discover how isolating pain can feel, and the generational patterns of suffering. Overall, Darkened Doorsteps investigates what it feels like to find community in emptiness.
