Synopsis

Middle-aged super fan Peter finds himself in a makeshift interrogation room at the mercy of Comic Con security after violating the restraining order placed against him by his favorite television starlet.

Meanwhile, spoiled starlet Chiara is holed up in a hotel suite with her stage mom and bodyguard, trapped by the demands that come with being a rising star.

Peter is determined to fulfill his destiny: a meeting with the twenty-three-year-old where he can deliver her an important and mysterious message.

All Chiara wants is for her mom and her bodyguard to get lost, preferably together.

Everyone has a fantasy, and soon they’ll collide with each other, and with reality.

Press Reviews

"What begins as a play about how people's fantasies can get in the way of their reality turns into a play in which people's reality can also screw up their fantasies."
— Ocweekly.com

"Clark’s play is such a captivating treat, as are its characters, who manage at once to be both quirky and absolutely real."
— Stage Scene LA

"Come for the Comic Con appeal but stay for the true comedy of Future Thinking, a highly literate and wildly funny world premiere at South Coast Repertory."
— Los Angeles Times
