The Making of a Great Moment

The Making of a Great Moment

Merrimack Repertory Theatre
50 East Merrimack Street Lowell

The story follows two Canadian actors charged with a most ambitious (and burdensome) task: perform a play called "Great Moments in Human Achievement" on tour across the United States, bringing inspiration to millions... by bicycle. The characters' 4+ hour production spans millennia of humankind's inventions, revolutions, conquests, advances, and triumphs, exhausting even without having to long-distance cycle between each tour stop. When faced with the great things their species has achieved, the two daring (and incredibly fit) actors-idealistic Mona and cynical Terry-have no choice but to ponder the value of their own contributions along the road to sheer brilliance.
