THE STORY: As Henry struggles to inject life into his thesis on Charles Darwin, a simple question becomes most perplexing: What do you want? Using elements of Brechtian Epic Theatre infused with razor-sharp social commentary, EVOLUTION follows Henry on a journey to Los Angeles with his girlfriend, Hope. When his uncanny pop-culture illiteracy becomes the fuel for an unexpected career in the entertainment industry, Henry must choose between the celebrity-culture success or academic obscurity, between embracing ambition and losing Hope.

"EVOLUTION, a fast-paced, sharply written morality tale by Jonathan Marc Sherman, puts a fresh, funny spin on the subject." - NY Daily News. "[A] fresh and heady whiplash of a social satire[Sherman] writes really smart fun with breathless abandonSherman intends Henry's morality tale to teach the importance of knowing what we want. Mission accomplished. We want more plays from Sherman." - NY Newsday. "Articulate and generationally savvy playwrightironic humor and pop culture mindseteducated wit of his satirical styleCandide-like quest for purpose and directionSherman sends up this familiar material with irreverent originalitySherman's mock-heroic version has a decidedly fresh feel to it." - Variety.
