Board a bus with the Downstage Creation Ensemble for this unique mask show that questions the sustainability of our existence and explores how we discover community in the most unexpected of places. Originally produced by Downstage in 2009, Bus(t) was nominated for Outstanding New Play at the Betty Mitchell Awards. In the play, there has been a catastrophic financial collapse. Otherworldly debt collectors roam the streets, seizing those who are unable to pay back what they owe. Only those without debt are free to walk the streets unharmed. A lucky few managed to find shelter on a bus when the pandemonium hit. Somehow protected from the danger that lurks the street, this group of people from vastly different walks of life must learn to co-exist in a world now confined to the interior of a bus that cannot escape from its ominous surroundings.
