The apocalypse is in progress in Marisela Treviño Orta’s play Somewhere, presented this week by the Middlebury College Department of Theatre. The world’s insects have nearly died out, and siblings Cassandra and Alexander are trekking across the United States in search of the last monarch butterflies when they encounter a group of survivalists on an Oregon truffle farm — a meeting that could spell doom or redemption for them all. Directed by Olga Sanchez Saltveit and starring Ethan Fleming, Ryan Ulen, Xiaole Niu, Meili Huang, Urian Vasquez and Kayla Schwartz, this eco-drama asks audiences to imagine a future of community and compassion even in the midst of crisis.
