About this show
Raising a teenager is hard. And for Mia and Dailyn it’s not going smoothly. As they get ready for older sister Alex to come home, an unsettling visitor steps out of the algorithm, their plans glitch into chaos.
From Obie Award–winning playwright Kirsten Greenidge comes Morning, Noon, and Night, a darkly funny, mind-bending exploration of family, surveillance, and connection in a post-pandemic world. Reality blurs in this sharp and stirring drama about how the “new normal” is pretty weird.
