blas•to•sphere (blas´t ə sfĕr) n. 1. a hollow ball of cells at an early stage of embryonic development.  2. a world of unrestrained hilarity.

“blisteringly hysterical satire at close range” (Ken Bullock, Berkeley Daily Planet)

“Central Works is about to kick off its 20th season, and their method of creating plays seems to be working better than ever.” (Tim Bauer, Direct Address)

“Central Works well-cast world premiere, directed by Molly Aaronson-Gelb, never takes itself too seriously and thus gets the most from this playful but telling satire.” (Robert Avila, SF Bay Guardian)
