The Quantification of Relative Human Insignificance

Book & Lyrics by Lauren Kahane

Music by Jacob Fjeldheim

Buzzy, an astrophysics PhD, is working around the clock to complete the paper that will secure his future. His girlfriend Katie, who is obsessed with trying to make a cat video that will be perpetually viral, thinks no matter how busy or stressed out Buzzy is, he should still find time to check in with her every day. The Quantification of Relative Human Insignificance is a five-person ensemble comedy about navigating the continual tension between being 110 percent engaged in your work, and also 110% available to the people you love.
