Tune in for an audio stream of 31 Down's current production: Universal Robots on free103point9 Online Radio 8 - 9:30 p.m.

Radio Theater Presents: Universal Robots.

31 Down returns this summer with a hypnotic sound and image collage inspired by the lives and works of the Brothers Capek, who coined the term robot in the 1920s with their famous science-fiction play, R.U.R. Universal Robots examines the role of technology's advancement in a modern day society in search of utopia. The play fuses dark foreshadowing excerpts from R.U.R. with several other works from the canon of Karel and Josef Capek and the last year of their lives.

The company includes the work and assistance of Ryan Holsopple, Mirit Tal, Shannon Sindelar, Jon Luton, Shauna Kelly, Thom Sibbitt, Jonathan Valuckas, Kelly Tuohy, Justin Tolley, Mike Radosta, Tara Fawn, Benjamin Brown and DJ Mendel. http://31down.org/upcoming.html
