The difficulty in writing a play, a movie or a song about the environment is that the topic is so huge, so amorphous, so slow-moving that it’s hard to drill down to the specifics that allow for drama. Moench wrote the play as a graduate student at the University of San Diego in 2016 and then won the 2017 Generations competition at the Butterfly Effect Theatre of Colorado (then known as the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company), which gave her a residency, reading, workshop and full production. The rewriting she did there helped her find the psychological core of the piece and yielded the version that has had productions around the country before landing at Mosaic.
