"Once again BETC proves itself to be one of the Front Range theatre scene’s best and brightest." - Gary Zeidner, Boulder Weekly

"Big ideas, a conflict of core beliefs, and outstanding performances come together here to create an uncommonly rewarding theater experience." - Bill Wheeler's Theatre Colorado Blog.

In the aftermath of a deadly tornado, a flippant remark about the origins of life brings further chaos to a small Kansas town. As a big-city biology teacher and her troubled small-town student doggedly battle over their divergent beliefs, How the World Began explores faith, grief, and fear and highlights the nature of the chasms that divide our culture and our country.

“An unusually sensitive theatrical dialogue about the nature of belief and the culture of coping, in which Trieschmann complicates each issue she raises.” –Time Out New York

“A thought-provoking look at the complexity of people who find it impossible to empathize with viewpoints not their own when it comes to the topic of religion.” - Huffington Post

Starring: Emily Paton Davies, Ryan Wuestawald and Chris Kendall
