Is saying goodbye ever easy?

In November 2014, the European Space Agency landed a probe on Comet 67P. Known as Philae, this was the primary goal of the Rosetta mission - a 10-year journey from launch to landing. The Philae lander did not anchor into the comet, however, but rather bounced three times, landing in a shaded spot, unable to adequately charge its solar panels.

Take a peek behind the curtain in this behind the scenes episode of Night Owl Theatre. Our most recent episode, This Moment in America: Quarantine Edition, is the first part of a larger project that invites listeners to reflect on our present and immediate past, and to share their story so we can create a broader understanding of one another as we move forward into the future - however uncertain and unusual that future may at first appear.

Swamp Witch Studio presents

a Night Owl Theatre production

This Moment in America: Quarantine Edition

A series of 30-second to 6-minute long micro-audio dramas inspired by and featuring the sounds of everyday life of people in quarantine in the USA during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sounds were submitted by listeners over the course of 36 hours in mid-April 2020.

This production was commissioned by Louisville Arts Network, in partnership with Lift Up Lou.

This Moment in America is a project of Night Owl Theatre to share the perspective of people who live in the nooks and crannies of a vast country that is struggling with its identity in a politically charged time.

Night Owl Theatre is an audio drama podcast that seeks to increase our capacity to understand one another through storytelling so that we may grow in empathy and compassion towards our better selves.
