Name: Jordan Ramirez Puckett
Age: 29
Pronouns: she/her
Hometown: San Jose, California
Undergrad: Northwestern University
Favorite play, TV show, movie, album, book, etc: The play that made me want to be a playwright is Baltimore Waltz by Paula Vogel. My favorite video game is Transistor, I actually listened to the soundtrack as I wrote To Saints and Stars.
“Fun fact”  related to To Saints and Stars: The central relationship in the play is based on my real life long friendship. For Sofía’s journey to Mars I had to do a lot of research on space exploration. My favorite bit of research was listening to the Habitat, a podcast about six crew members who are locked up in a habitat in Hawaii for a year to mimic what life might be like on a mission on Mars.

Directed by Shelley Delaney
4:00 p.m. – Saturday April 27th, Forum Theater, RTV Building

10-all astronauts prepare for launch… 9-months and Zoe will be a mother… 8-years old, a promise we never wanted to break… 7-months, my one way ticket to Mars… 6-million hours staring up at the stars… 5-seconds left until launch… 4- years old when we first met… 3- decades of friendship and love… 2-peas in a pod until… 1-mission liftoff

In To Saints and Stars, Sofía’s life flashes before her eyes. In the face of almost certain death on the first manned mission to Mars, Sofía re-examines her lifelong friendship with Zoe and the age old conflict between science and faith.
