About the Show
Thoughts on the Size of the Universe explores sexuality, culture, and our place in the cosmos through the eyes of two teenage girls on a roof. Honest and frank, its poetic dialogue is a raw expression of adolescence and humanity. The girls begin to see the galaxy from a wider perspective as they discover for themselves the beautiful balance between innocence and maturity, between identity and diversity, and between the now and the future.
