Home | Counting Down: The Musical

Drawing on memories of a childhood video game as a story frame, Counting Down is a story of loss and friendship set against familial generational trauma with a dark science fiction veneer.

Counting Down is a very different kind of musical. Part rock opera, part concept album, but all musical.

WHAT'S THE DEAL?

WHAT'S THE PITCH?

The first five sentient robots make their marks on the world, until they lose a landmark civil rights case arguing for their emancipation and are condemned to die. But when a nearby nuclear power plant begins to go critical and the people panic, these unique individuals must make a tragic and desperate choice about what it means to be alive.

As you listen to the demo, you might be asking…

Does it sound strange?

Well…you’re in the black box.

Watching robots grapple with feelings.

And this black box of ethereal code is in the core...

Said core is at the bottom of a nuclear power plant…

That is currently melting down….

So yes, you are correct. It sounds strange.

We better be moving on…
