A Rock Sails By

The second production will be “A Rock Sails By,” by Sean Grennan. The story is incredibly interesting and unique: Dr. Lynn Cummings, a facts-only astrophysicist, has discovered herself at life’s crossroads as she tries to bring science and faith into balance. She is grappling with personal questions, trying to reconnect with her daughter, and mourning the loss of her husband. When an unidentified object is discovered heading toward Earth, a less-than-reputable online magazine misquotes her, casting doubt on her credibility. With her reputation on the line, she invites the ambitious journalist to witness the object with her as it comes closest to Earth. Dr. Cummings hopes to see nothing remarkable and thus salvage her credibility, but there is no telling what she will discover beyond the stars. It is thought-provoking and filled with wit, humor, and meaning.

“A Rock Sails By” will be directed by the GCA’s Theatre Manager Nic Carter and will run April 25th through May 11th, 2025.
