Columbia University School of the Arts presents the MFA Acting class of 2019 in Middletown.

Middletown's quirky denizens are balanced between a lost history and an uncertain future - living atop the bones of those who were there first, and beneath impossibly distant stars. While navigating the daily ordinariness of fixing the sink, visiting the library or planting a tree, the inhabitants of Middletown haltingly wrestle with the gap between who they are and who they are assumed to be. As they fumble and grasp to reach beyond themselves, they collide with — and miss — each other, in ways both poignant and funny.
