A Computer That Loves: And Why Not To Build One is an original universe-spanning sci-fi rock opera epic with a big (and heavy) heart. Created in 1964 and living until the end of time itself, Charlie the Robot contemplates his existence at the end of the universe and decides that he would rather not have been built in the first place. He sends a record back in time to the 1960's to convince his lost love and creator, Suzy Baker, not to build him, but that turns out to be the very thing that inspired his design. Through love, heartbreak, and assimilating the planet Charlie desperately tries to be human but just can't seem to figure it out. Shows run Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm, with two Thursdays (05/23, 05/30) at 8pm, one Sunday (05/26) at 6pm, and one Saturday matinee (06/01) at 3pm.
