"Deeply moving"!
"Corrbette Pasko and Josh Hambrock, an excellent frumpy-funny pair"! 

-Christopher Shea, Time Out Chicago
 

"The strong chemistry between Hambrook and Pasko rivals Spock and Kirk for BSBs (best space buddies)!"

 -Katy Walsh, Chicago Theater Beat  

A drug-fueled, astronomically inspired, comedy-drama about geek friendship - not to mention the downgrading of planet Pluto!

In Pluto is Listening, Grace, inspired by scientific debate over whether Pluto is actually a planet (and high on diet pills), enlists her best friend, Benjamin, to send out skyward broadcasts from their small hometown of Pluto, Ohio. This launches a series of transmissions (and an escalating drug problem) involving Grace and Benjamin over the course of 20 years, revealing the bittersweet trajectory of their friendship and an inevitable crash landing.
