By E.M. Lewis

Max, a musically gifted high school student, is falling off the edge of the world—and his biology teacher is the only one who’s noticed. A new play about the science of life and loss, the relationships between fathers and sons, Cambodian fields, Bolivian rainforests and redemption. Winner of the prestigious Steinberg New Play Award and the Los Angeles Drama Critic’s Award for Outstanding New Play, Theater Latté Da brings the regional premiere to the Twin Cities.
