The story follows a luckless, loveable (spineless) twenty-something, Paulie, who joins "The Ghost Mastuhz," a paranormal investigation Youtube show starring his older outlandish brother, Tommy. Their services are requested with the promise of a real haunting, but when they arrive, they find much more than they bargained for... through a terrifying night of mischief and plenty’a murder, Paulie is able to muster the courage to make his own decisions in life.

Naught
Book & Lyrics by Nina Kauffman & Gregory F. Jackson
Music by Andrew Drannon
Naught is an electronic musical adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's short story “2 B R Ø 2 B.”
In the year 2043, Dr. Cole Obsidian developed “The Infinity Program,” offering one thousand lucky citizens of the United States the opportunity of an “endless lifetime.” These newly immortal beings pledged themselves to a new world governed by science. War, famine, and poverty belonged to the old world, outside. In order to gain immortality, each participant was required to relinquish their mortal lives. Protected from the maladies of a dying planet, they lived in solitude of the New World, where over the years, the population was capped at forty-thousand people. No one wants to die, therefore no one can be born. To bring a child into the New World, someone must volunteer of their own free will to die.
This large-scale, ensemble driven sci-fi drama follows Ahnah and Reed, a young couple who despite everything against them, decide to become pregnant. They discover they’re having triplets. How far will they go, and what sacrifices will they make to bring their children into the world, and restore natural order to the Universe?
One Act, approx. 90 minutes
