All The World Wondered tells the story of an archaeology team searching for meaning in the midst of great tragedy. Alayna, the team's lead archaeologist, sees and feels her subjects in a way that connects her with the people of the true mass extinction that took out 98.7% of the population 900,000 years ago. ​Inspired by Thoreau and Tennyson, ATWW reminds us that we are never alone, no matter how dire the impending situation. Fresh off of the New York Theater Festival, The Green Room 42 (NYC), and the St. Louis Fringe Festival, the cast of All The World Wondered is so excited to make our Philadelphia debut!
