Scotopia: Short Plays to Help You See in the Dark is a new production by MoB Theatre, producers of “Wilmington Reconstructed”, “Out, NC”, “Quilt Stories”, and other local productions. MoB Theatre is a grassroots theatre ensemble-based company located in Wilmington, NC that creates theatre for social change.

Scotopia~ noun: the ability to see in dim light or darkness.

Scotopia is an eclectic series of short plays ranging in genre that address modern social issues through a scope that inverses norms, and challenges perceptions.

Surrender assumptions and enter a dream you’ll awake from with resolutions, and ideas. Don’t be afraid of the dark- hold my hand, I'll lead you through.

In the shadows you’ll find a starving wolf, 27 indictments against a man you may know, Karen, a butterfly birth, and a modern day martyr with bleeding palms.

Scotopia will premier 8 short plays to the Wilmington area, all carefully curated from new play festivals from all around the country.
