2008 and 2016 NHP Alum Crystal Skillman’s THE ROCKET MEN will receive an NNPN Rolling World Premiere, starting at the Phoenix Theatre Cultural Centre in Indianapolis from September 4-21, 2026.

In the play, a cast of women step into the roles of the former Nazis who formed the backbone of the NASA team that sent us to the moon. This gripping new play about the intersection of scientific exploration and moral responsibility unfolds in startling ways and asks us what it means “to be an American” … then and now.

The play will go on to productions at Synchronicity Theatre in Atlanta in October, and Angels Theatre Company in Lincoln, NE in March, 2026.
