Omega Kids Noah Mease
About This Show
Two guys, both named Michael, spend a rainy Saturday night lying on the floor of an empty apartment reading comic books – and testing the limits of their brand new friendship. Their own secret histories and future hopes begin to surface through conversations about the Omega Kids, a ragtag group of super-powered teens, and all of the reboots and retcons, apocalypses and alternate universes from all their years in print. It’s a play about telling other people’s stories in order to tell your own, and what happens when the barrier between fiction and reality starts to blur.
