FIFTH PLANET
by David Auburn
"This is not a circle of actors with scripts in hand. The roles are fully embodied, off-book, and brimming with life. The only difference is that there is no set." —Zach Van Dyke, Bungalower
Fifth Planet, which Auburn wrote during his Julliard residency, is a one-act play that charts the bumpy relationship of two astronomers, one amateur and one professional, over the course of a year. The play has several scenes, some of them very short. Each scene takes place on a different night on the same hilltop.
Fifth Planet is a one-act play, and its run time is approximately 60 minutes with no intermission. It is presented as a performed stage reading, and will include a 30 minute talk-back discussion afterwards with the actors.
Fifth Planet runs from August 17th to August 31st, 2025!
"FIFTH PLANET" is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)

ARTISTIC & PRODUCTION
Marco DiGeorgeProducer / Technical Director Marco DiGeorge’s love for teaching and the arts has led him to the various endeavors he is involved with today, including Co-Founder and Teacher at Truthful Acting Studios, Adjunct Professor with the UCF Film Program, and one of the founding members and Artistic Director of Theater On The Edge. After an amazing experience producing season one with plays such as American Buffalo, Tape, and Superior Donuts, Marco directed the critically acclaimed Orphans and Proof in season two, and Boom and Edward Albee's The Goat or, Who is Sylvia? in Season Three - and was back onstage with TOTE's last production of Talk Radio as Barry Champlaign. Marco also enjoys working side-by-side with his amazing wife, Samantha, as she continues to push the envelope with her cinematic set design. |
Sam DiGeorgeArtistic Designer Aside from her role as Director of Operations for Truthful Acting Studios, where she takes care of all business operations, Sam’s love for creativity and design has propelled her into her new passion as Artistic Designer for Theater On The Edge, where she is also one of the founding members. Sam has a love for transforming and repurposing anything and everything artistic that she can get her hands on, and her hyper-realistic sets from season one received much acclaim, including American Buffalo's 1970s junk shop, Tape's seedy Motel 6 room, the Superior Donuts shop and a 1989 North Philadelphia row-house for the critically acclaimed Orphans. She is grateful to be a part of such a creative team and working alongside her husband Marco. |
