THE EFFECT

By Lucy Prebble
Directed By Alison Ruth

Featuring Christina Baldwin, Kamani Graham, Becca Claire Hart, & Greg Watanabe

March 1 - 30, 2025 at The Jungle Theater in Minneapolis, MN

When Connie and Tristan sign up for a clinical trial to test a new antidepressant, they fall for each other—hearts racing, knees buckling—hard. But are their feelings real or nothing more than a dopamine-fueled side effect? Lucy Prebble’s (Succession) razor sharp writing keeps audiences guessing, asking which is more powerful—the head or the heart?
