Opening Undermain Theatre’s thirty-first season, we’ve got the world premiere of a play by Gordon Dahlquist, and it’s perfect for fountain-of-youth hunting Dallasites. Tomorrow Come Today is a futuristic sci-fi thriller about a world where the wealthy can exchange their tired, old bodies for fresh, young ones, allowing them to perpetually escape death — until climate change threatens to end life on earth, that is. The production promises to be a technical feat, as six actors will swap the two lead roles to represent the characters continually aging down. Dahlquist calls New York home, but the play has a connection to Texas, as he allegedly wrote it here while on a ten-day silent retreat. Tomorrow Come Today, directed by Katherine Owens, will take the stage at Undermain Theatre in Deep Ellum through October . Tickets are $10-$40. More info is at undermain.org.
Tuesdays-Thursdays, 7:30 p.m.; Fridays, Saturdays, 8:15 p.m.; Sundays, 2 p.m. Starts: Sept. 16. Continues through Oct. 12, 2014
