'Marooned! A Space Comedy' at Theatre Project is far more than puppets

DC Metro Theater Arts: What’s in a name? That which we call Alex and Olmsted would by any name or names be full of innovation, emotion, and wry commentary on contemporary conventions. They are, however, the names that I recognize from their work with Happenstance Theater. Their newest show, Marooned! A Space Comedy, is also aptly named. After a brief abstract introduction to physical expressiveness and a prologue that wordlessly recounts the evolution of life on earth, the action takes place in the deep reaches of space.
