All Skylar wants is a hug. They live in a technology obsessed world with little human contact- their father can’t even remember what a hug is. With a faithful robot dog, Einstein, Skylar decides to travel the galaxy in search of human connection.

Crisscrossing the Galaxy at Faster Than the Speed of Light for a Hug is a play for young audiences about technology, the cosmos, and what it means to be human.
