FIFTH PLANET by David Auburn

In David Auburn's Fifth Planet, a professional astronomer played by Amy Ryan (Birdman; Gone, Baby, Gone; "The Wire," "In Treatment," "The Office") and an amateur astronomer (Bobby Moreno, Year of the Rooster) hazard a friendship and learn more about Jupiter than they bargained for. David Auburn directs. Stay tuned after the performance for a conversation with the artists moderated by founding Artistic Director Claudia Catania.  Playing on Air is a public radio show and podcast featuring great American short plays with great American actors.
