Coal Creek Theater of Louisville presents
This Random World
by Steven Dietz
Directed by Kirsten Jorgensen Smith
We want to believe that serendipity brings us together, but is that just a myth? Mining the comedy of missed connections, This Random World asks the serious question of how often we travel parallel paths through the world without noticing. From an ailing woman who plans one final trip, to her daughter planning one great escape and her son falling prey to a prank gone wrong, this funny, intimate, and heartbreaking play explores the lives that may be happening just out of reach of our own.
This performance was streamed in order to comply with COVID-19 regulations and restrictions.

“This was the best play CCTL has done in a long while! Lots of laugh out loud moments, at least one tear-jerker moment, and just delightful characters all around. Fantastic!!” - John Marlin
