Launch Day (Love Stories From the Year 2108)

A brilliant engineer has decided to leave our ailing planet on a mission to colonize another world. Her ex-boyfriend believes the Earth—and their relationship—can be saved, but first he must convince her to stay … and hope his new robotic arm doesn’t ruin everything.

Told through a series of two-actor scenes, Launch Day (Love Stories From the Year 2108) follows six couples struggling with relationship issues in a high-tech but perilous future.

Other characters include a starving artist who has agreed to let an advertising firm insert a computer chip in her head; a devoted zookeeper fighting to protect Sandy the pandaroo, her favorite genetically engineered creature; and a lonely construction worker enlisted to help a desperate woman with a task that may or may not be murder—killing her AI supervisor.

Multiple simple sets.
