It's 2027. The United States is still recovering from a devastating, yet oddly familiar event that nobody saw coming. Out of the ashes of the tragedy rises a memorial museum--The Museum of the Unforeseen--dedicated to preserving the memories of the day when everything changed.

Our National Museum of the Unforeseen Tragedy is an immersive theater piece that memorializes and explains "The American Spring," a series of national uprisings and protests that were figuratively--and literally--ignited by a Christian separatist suicide bomber who blew himself up on the National Mall on April 14, 2017--Good Friday. Part performance piece, part exhibit, Museum asks us to consider the politics of memory and national identity.
