The Commute (Performance)

Sunday, November 1, 2026 · 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM

The Rockwell — 255 Elm St., Somerville, MA

Four strangers are trapped in a tunnel during a sudden stop on the Red Line. As tension builds, they are forced to confront each other-and themselves. The Commute is a dark, thought-provoking comedy by Karin Anell, exploring human behavior under pressure. Where do we go, when there is no exit? And who are we really, behind our masks? There are two shows on Nov 1st: 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. The evening show will be followed by an interactive panel hosted by Joint Family, an organization committed to building connections across generations through science, art and technology. Tickets range from $10 (need-based)-$30 at the Rockwell. There is also an opportunity to pay what you can at the door. This project is made possible in part by an LCC grant from the Somerville Arts Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council
