Let There Be by Stephen Kaplan
As part of the CTX New Play Fest 2026.
Synopsis: In 1883, two women - one married to the scientist inventing the lightbulb, the other to the reverend resisting it - sit down over birthday cake to debate the future. Sides aren’t what you expect and parlor talk jolts from lightbulbs to AI in a reality-bending collision of past, present, and the terrifying hope of technology racing faster than we can reckon with.
