About This World of Tomorrow
It’s the end of the 21st century and Bert Allenberry is longing for the past.
This World of Tomorrow features Tom Hanks and Kelli O’Hara in the story of a disenchanted scientist from the future. When Bert embarks on a time-traveling quest, he returns—again, and again, and again—to one special day at the 1939 New York World’s Fair in Queens. And revives a dream of what the future could be.
This new play is written by Tom Hanks and James Glossman, based on short stories written by Tom Hanks, and directed by Tony Award winner Kenny Leon (A Raisin in the Sun, Fences).
The cast also includes Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Jay O. Sanders, Kerry Bishé, Kayli Carter, Lee Aaron Rosen, Jamie Ann Romero, Paul Murphy, Donald Webber Jr., and Michelle Wilson.
