Ben Moniz’s 2023 play MOON SHOW returns for a one-night-only reading to mark the launch of Artemis II, which will send humans to Lunar Orbit and deep space for the first time in over fifty years.

With the Artemis program set to send humans back to the Moon this decade, what can we learn from America’s first journeys to another world, half a century ago? Can manifest destiny be separated from the drive to explore and discover?

In MOON SHOW, playwright and commercial pilot Ben Moniz explores the parallel histories of the Apollo Moon landings and the Vietnam War via the 90s Educational TV shows that got him hooked on space.
