Hypotheticals
A neurodivergent romcom
"Hilarious and thought-provoking."
— Milwaukee Magazine
2023 WINNER of the Epiphanies New Works Festival and official selection of World Premiere Wisconsin and Cincinnati LAB Theatre.
Hypotheticals is a romantic comedy about a beautiful but misanthropic woman who kisses a stranger in an elevator on her way to psychotherapy. When the stranger turns out to be her new therapist, they’re forced into a professional relationship where the intimate environment is as fertile for romantic tension as it is for personal growth—until the revelation of a mutual secret threatens to bind them together or tear them apart.
In an age where up to 20% of the world’s population is neurodivergent, Hypotheticals shatters stereotypes about neurodiversity and Autism, arguing that neurodivergent brains are not faulty and that there’s no wrong way to be human.
