About the Event

Interstellar authors Amie Kaufman and Lili Wilkinson take one giant leap into an unknown universe created by galactically good teen writers.

Using a setting and premise crafted by talented teens, Amie and Lili will bring this cosmic creation to life in a special Spring Fling event. YOU, the audience, will be mission control and YOUR decisions will determine the characters’ fate. Will they survive deep space? Discover a new planet? Meet their intergalactic demise?

Only time will tell.
