PYGmalion Theatre Company will conclude its 2024/2025 season with “Be Here Now” by Deborah Zoe Laufer, directed by Jason Bowcutt, from May 2 to May 17 at the Rose Wagner Center for Performing Arts located at 138 West Broadway in downtown Salt Lake City. The play centers on Bari’, who’s always been a bit of an angry, depressed misanthrope. And losing her job teaching nihilism in New York to work at the local fulfillment center in her rural hometown has sent her into despair. But lately her recurring headaches manifest bizarre, ecstatic, almost religious experiences, and they’re changing her entire view of life. She’s in love. She’s almost… happy. When she finds out they’re also killing her, she must decide whether it’s better to live a short, joyful life, or risk a lifetime of misery. And she must also ask herself… what’s it all for anyway? The play addresses core questions about what is happiness? What is in our control and how can we manipulate that which is in our control? And questions of what will we sacrifice.
