Einstein is a Dummy
was first seen at the Kennedy Center’s 2004
New Visions/New Voices festival, and went on to
premiere at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre in
2005 under the direction of Rosemary Newcott.
Selling out in its first run, it was extended
twice to keep up with popular demand. Since then
it has enjoyed productions at theatres throughout
the country, including Chicago Playworks, UNC
Charlotte, Oregon Children's Theatre, and Nashville
Children's Theatre. A revised and expanded 90 minute, large ensemble version was premiered by an all-student cast at the Norris Center for the Performing Arts in April of 2011, under the direction on Corey Jones and produced by Debbie Martinez.
“I loved the production and
was very impressed by how well it captured both
the coming of age of a 'different' teenager AND
the unique scientific insights that led to Einstein's
remarkable year of publications…It was the
most creative approach to communicating physics
that I've ever seen.” - Matthew S. Grober,
Associate Professor of Biology, Georgia State
