Five-time NHP Alum Mat Smart’s new play, Eden Prairie, 1971, is being featured at the New Mexico Actors Lab from NOVEMBER 13 through DECEMBER 1, 2024.

Tickets are now on sale at the New Mexico Actors Lab website, www.nmactorslab.com.

On the same night Apollo 15 makes its lunar landing, draft-dodger Pete steals home to Eden Prairie after a 300-mile trek from Canada risking arrest to deliver an important message to his childhood friend, Rachel. Both are caught between duty to the ones they love and their own futures. In a moment of national tension that mirrors our own, Pete must defend his choices and grapple with the sacrifices he has made. This stark, passionate drama questions our notions of bravery and responsibility and the search for love.
