The Grown-Up
UMBC Theatre presents The Grown-Up by Jordan Harrison, directed by Joseph Ritsch, in the Proscenium Theatre.
Ten year old Kai is given a magical crystal door-knob by his grandfather that enables him to travel through space and time to see future events in his life. As he moves through time, he realizes how quickly time escapes our grasp. Both poignant and zany, Pulitzer Prize finalist Jordan Harrison expands on the notion that life is too short to miss any moment of it.
