MACHINE MAKES MAN

Year of production: 2013 – present

theater / music / projections / live foley

Based on the writings of transhumanist Ray Kurzweil, this story follows Jeff and Milly Kramer as they navigate the consequences of a brand new intelligence enhancement technology –– a government

experiment in the first round of human trials for which Jeff has volunteered. He soon goes rogue and plots a global takeover through pop music.

Created and performed by Adina Verson and Michael Joseph McQuilken, this tech-rich music play packs into a cary-on, and has traveled the globe, winning several honors and awards.
