Three Sisters
April 23-26, 2026
Ramo Auditorium
A bold, updated reimagining of Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters.
In Winter 2026, TACIT will explore the text of Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters, a Russian tragicomedy around themes of unfulfilled dreams, social decline, and the bittersweet gap between aspirations and reality, adapted to be set in 1950s California. The sisters yearn for a more exciting existence as stagnation gnaws away at them. This bold and experimental reimagining of Anton Chekhov’s classic drama will be infused with visions of our futures, past and present.

Immersive Futures Jams
October 10-12
Immersive Futures (IF) Jam is a weekend-long event, led by futurist Stuart Candy. The cohort of participants will be drawn from the undergrads / grads / postdocs / JPL community to explore how our world could look decades from now, across domains like climate, AI, energy, and biotech. During this intensive weekend (October 10, 6-9pm; October 11 and 12, 10am-5pm), participants will render these imagined scenarios as interactive performances, to think and feel at a visceral level with researchers and others and through a series of scenarios developed in workshop.
Spots are limited: if interested, contact Brian Brophy.
