Synopsis
An Uptown Chicago loft becomes a breeding ground for Millennials looking to change the world. Self-identified geniuses, cybervigilantes, hacktivists and anarchists cast off the laws of the land as they attempt to alter Humanity’s fate. As they plot against enemies and build complex data schemes, reWILDing Genius asks how far is too far in our quest to save us from ourselves.The New Colony, the 2011 recipient of the Broadway In Chicago Emerging Theater Award, strives to contribute original material to the American artistic canon and develop a new kind of theater going audience. Through collaboration with emerging artists of all disciplines, The New Colony continually develops new work and fresh perspectives. With the goal of exploring enticing subject matter and the common language of experience, The New Colony will cultivate the next generation of arts supporters. thenewcolony.org.

"Fresh, spontaneous and highly watchable...the audacity of the play's vision is both admirable and sobering." — Chicago Reader
"...might just be the first play to capture the age of Edward Snowden, the dangerous consequences of hack-masters and the sometimes questionable attitudes of the millennial generation." — Chicago Sun-Times
"Guys. Run, don't walk to see what's happening with The New Colony's reWILDing Genius in the Garage. You'll be in for a seriously exciting night of theatre. #garagerep2014" — Katie, Facebook fan
