The Bottoming Process at Theatre Wit

THE BOTTOMING PROCESS is a new play about two writers who meet at WeWork and fall in love – or something like it. One is a famed novelist, and the other is a nobody who’s mostly funny on Twitter. As they mate, date, and cohabitate, they’ll grapple with issues of race, sex, power, and the model minority myth, all to find out who’s really on top.

Recieve A ‘Postcard From Earth’

Postcard From Earth” steeps you in a very loose 50-minute tale about life rising from the oceans onto the land, the birth of human civilizations and the moment, not so deep in the future, when humanity departs a despoiled Earth to settle other worlds — in the process recalling our home planet’s magnificence.

The Film screens at The Sphere In Vegas on October 6th 2023–It is a truly 4D movie production with surround sound, wind and smell simulation. Though it is family friendly there are some intense storm scenes with loud thunder and seat vibration.
