Experience the disquisition of evolution and intelligent design in this thoughtful, spirit-provoking play by Tony award winner Joe DiPietro.

The Times Square Corps - Theatre 315 continues its arts initiative The Oratory LAB with a staged reading of CREATING CLAIRE by Joe DiPietro. The Oratory LAB has events scheduled on the fourth Friday of each month through October for 2026. Follow us here on Eventbrite to receive notifications about upcoming projects!

Two-time Tony award winning playwright Joe DiPietro (MEMPHIS) has coalesced the theory of evolution and the theory of intelligent design into the same orbit in his brilliant stage play CREATING CLAIRE. Making these massive premises manageable, DiPietro brings them home to a married couple and their autistic daughter, as well as a battle between their personal friend and administrator of the natural history museum. The survival of the fittest theory is on. Can anything positive evolve from this conflict?

House opens at 6:30pm. Performance will begin at 7:00pm. Following the performance will be a talkback with Cast & Director.
