The Infinite Wrench is a wild ride of a truly one-of-a-kind theatre experience currently being performed by The Neo Futurist Ensemble based in Chicago. The idea sounds simple at first, but it can quickly throw you for a loop when you really think about it. 30 plays in 60 minutes, all original material crafted by the ensemble; with the order of plays chosen by the audience. Definitely not conventional by any means, and let’s be real, who really wants that all the time? The props are real, there is no time for theatrical effects, but there is plenty of time for one thing: the truth. After listening to the Cannopy interview with Connor Shioshita Pickett, the Artistic Director of the Neo-Futuristic Theater, I started pondering what being honest and reaching the truth really means in theatre.
