SYSTEMS follows Elizabeth, the host alter in the Blue Aster System, when the system's sister unexpectedly enters their life after a long separation. 6 actors embody 21 characters in this vibrant story that explores themes of family, compassion, and reconciliation. SYSTEMS is a heartfelt comedy about trauma and working with the past to make the most out of the present.

**SYSTEMS features a character with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Formerly known as “Multiple Personality Disorder” in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DID is a diagnosis that carries a great deal of harmful stigma due in large part to disinformation and stereotypes created by the entertainment industry and media. While this disorder is very serious and often requires psychiatric assistance and therapy, SYSTEMS aims to show a person with DID in a realistic and positive light.
