Pizza or A Door In The Dark Does Not Dance or The Meaning Of Life

Pizza or A Door In The Dark Does Not Dance or The Meaning of Life is best described as a chamber opera, miniature in physical scale, but uncompromisingly epic and outsize in its scope and ambitions.

The first act takes place at a pizza party which starts innocently enough, but when one of the guests reveals that they’re dying of a mysterious illness and disappears from the festivities, her presumed death becomes a portal to the next world, populated by ghosts of other dead (or possibly dead) beings who still have scores to settle and questions that demand answers.
