Evelyn Digirolamo is performing in 600 Years, a theater piece that she co-created with Sandbox Theatre, running at the Southern Theater through September 18. “What if humanity was inherently good? Sandbox steps 600 years into the future to tell the story of a matriarchal society guided by preservation and trust. Wilderness has reclaimed the planet. After two centuries teetering on the brink of extinction, the human population has stabilized and entered into a renaissance. Elite bands of women known as Seekers brave the harsh elements that separate a scarcely populated landscape, bringing with them messages of hope, history and knowledge to aid in rebuilding a more connected society.”
