Pluto, the Wayward Planetoid
May 9, 2025 | 6:00 pm – New England premiere of an original play by Arts Metropolitan. When Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson announces Pluto’s demotion from planetary status, two worlds collide in cosmic chaos: the heartbroken students of Andromeda High School and the outraged aliens of Pluto itself! Led by the dramatic “Great Gigoo of Oort,” the Plutoids kidnap Dr. Tyson and infiltrate the World Science Convention disguised as scientists—where they unexpectedly encounter the Andromeda students who’ve won a science competition. Through zany space hijinks, rapid-fire astronomy jokes, and interplanetary misunderstandings, everyone discovers that whether you call it a planet, dwarf planet, or “planetesimal,” Pluto remains exactly what it’s always been: an astronomical wonder worth celebrating!
