Experiments toward a future theatre.
When Gyre Price lied her way into this caving expedition, she thought she’d be mapping mineral deposits, and that her biggest problems would be cave collapses and gear malfunctions. She also thought that the fat paycheck – enough to get her off-planet and on the trail of her mother – meant she’d get a skilled surface team, monitoring her suit and environment, keeping her safe. Keeping her sane.
Instead, she got Em.
THE LUMINOUS DEAD is adapted by Andrew Hungerford from the Bram Stoker Award nominated novel by Caitlin Starling for his 2026 Artist Residency at the Voxel in Baltimore.
It’s a piece of highly physical, science-fiction horror theatre that explores world building through projections, light and dark, audio immersion, and rough theatrical magic built by the ensemble.
The design team is made up of frequent collaborators, Sarah Beth Hall, Douglas Borntrager, Noelle Wedig-Johnston, and Brandon Johnston. Rounding out the production team is Asst. Director Becca G Anderson.
The cast features Adanya Koger-Hobson as Gyre, Ayika Tshimanga as Em, and the versatile ensemble of David Armando, James Creque, Brandon W Jones, and Misaki Weddington.
Adanya Koger-Hobson is ecstatic to be playing Gyre in The Luminous Dead. They are a DMV actor that graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in Performing Arts in 2022. Recent shows they’ve been in are Hamlet (Hamlet, 2025), Much Ado About Nothing (Conrade, 2025), Honey Bee Baby (Veronica, 2025), The Wolves (#00, 2024), Little Women (Laurie, 2023), Gallathea (Gallathea, 2023) and The Wedding Singer (Shane, 2023). They also have a passion for electric guitar and bass guitar.

Velocity, the vector version of change in position over change in time, defines both speed and direction.
The short version of our name, dx/dt, is instantaneous velocity, the rate of change over a very small amount of time.
Key to the work of distance over time theatre is a kind of motion, a snapshot of change in progress.
We've made shows in Cincinnati, Edinburgh, Los Angeles and on-line while exploring what's next, pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
distance over time is a project of This Wooden O Entertainment.
