Synopsis
PARTICLE is a multi-dimensional coming-of-age story set in the world of elite gaming. Will Cora help her team win the high-pressure Interglow championships — and what about her twin brother Seth, the one left behind? At its heart, PARTICLE is a story about connection and the transcendent power of love.
Development History
PARTICLE was written during the pandemic over Zoom by a bi-coastal writing team. The musical was also developed during a two-week workshop at Michigan State University, a workshop at Nazareth College, and a 29-hour reading at Missouri State (co-produced by Broadway Unlocked).
