In 2012, researchers at Northwestern University concluded that when we recall a memory, we're not actually the recalling the memory, but rather the memory of the last time we remembered it, thus irreparably distorting our perception of the past. This is a play about that. With an offbeat yet authentic voice (and a structure to match), "Anderson Lena and the Things That Don't Matter" explores the unsettlingly distinct possibility that objective truth is about as real as a fluffy pink unicorn. It starts off simply enough: a girl sitting alone in her bedroom. But, much like life, this story is nowhere near as simple as it should be. Three characters, two timelines, and one room later, you'll leave questioning every memory you ever held dear. But, you know, in a cool way.
