Infinity Box Theatre Project brings theatre people and science people together in creative ways to leverage their collaboration and the power of stories told on stage to imagine a future we want to live in. Building that future - one story at a time.

Tickets Five playwrights and five science writers meet for the first time and talk about hot science news. Two evenings later we have five brand new 10-minute science plays. Five directors draw their plays and casts at random. Three evenings after that You can see five short science talks each followed by a world premier science play.

Infinity Box Theatre Project acknowledges that we live and work on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People, past and present, and we honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe. We hope to contribute to a Future on this land consistent with the values of their culture.
Infinity Box supports the Black Lives Matter Movement and Indigenous Peoples Movements.

Infinity Box is building ongoing collaborations between the science and theater communities. If you are engaged in science or in theater – or are a person who cares deeply about either of those worlds – please join us!

Galileo Dialogues: an evening of Science and Society

We paused this annual event after 10 yrs partnering with the Seattle U Physics Department. Celebration of human discovery, plays and lively conversation about the many interconnections between science and religion, politics, art.... All about - or in the spirit of - Galileo Galilei.

Psychlotron: Smashing ideas together at high speed, just to see what happens

Two speakers from oddly unrelated fields. Each gets 15 minutes to talk about "whatever fascinates them." Then the audience joins in - smashes the ideas together - and all kinds of insight ensues. The smartest fun you've ever had. More than 20 so far and we can't wait to do it again.
