About the show ...
One dying planet and two sisters who have trained their whole lives to build a future for humanity away from Earth. NASA scientists (and twins) Stella and Cassie haven’t seen each other since Stella dropped off the grid and Cassie left for a year-long mission on the Moon. Now, Cassie has returned to find Stella living with her fiancé in one of the few beautiful places left on Earth. But time is running out for Cassie and Stella to bridge the planet-sized chasm that has grown between them, and to make an impossible choice: should they try and save an Earth that seems too-far-gone, or try and save humanity by colonizing another planet? WALDEN is a thorny examination of ambition, family divides, and the painful choices we must make in a broken future of our own creation.
Summit's 2025-2026 Season!
SUMMIT SEASON 9
We kick off our 25-26 season in partnership with The New Harmony Project for a new play workshop and public reading of HIRAETH by Jayne Deely, part of the second annual PlayFest Indy! In November, is our annual fundraising campaign ELEVATE, and in March of 2026, we will premiere RE-ENTRY, an original one-act about incarceration and our 10th partnership with Dr. Sally Wasmuth. In May of 2026, we open our main production of the season, MS. HOLMES AND MS. WATSON APT 2B by Kate Hamill – the first comedic romp we have ever produced. That’s right, Summit is doing a comedy! And finally, we close out our season with a staged reading of the beautiful and challenging WALDEN by Amy Berryman.
Summit stands with BLM & BIPOC
Black Lives Matter.
Summit Performance Indianapolis stands with Black Americans and all Indigenous and other People of Color. We detest and denounce racism in all of its explicit and implicit forms. Summit’s values are to increase the representation of our country’s diverse population on and behind the stage, promote equity in the arts, connect with our community, and inspire community-wide dialogue around pertinent social issues, and we will continue our current efforts toward these aims. However, we recognized that we have not done enough, and acknowledge that racism and the horrific legacy of slavery continue to produce devastating consequences. We are seeking literature, education, and calls to action to further our commitment toward this critical cause.
