A (fictional) workaholic’s life is turned upside down when an unexpected (and factual) meteor impact interferes with his witnessing the expected (and also factual) asteroid flyby he’s been looking forward to. Video of the Nov. 18, 2023, premiere performance of a 20-minute musical written for Across a Crowded Room, the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts’ musical theatre writing program.
