“Maybe, when it is the right time, we’ll meet again…”
Satellites
Girl meets Guy, Girl marries Guy, Girl moves on after Guy goes missing in outer space.
...Until Guy mysteriously reappears on Earth 7 years later. As the couple—an astronaut and a marine biologist—struggles to adjust to this strange return, they attempt to reestablish their connection in the face of an uncertain future on a slowly fading planet. A new play about relationships, the unpredictability of time, and trying to save the world.

Rave reviews for SATELLITES at Premiere Stages
[Satellites] is funny and poignant, but above all else, it is a romance grounded in reality, and it is one of the best shows I’ve seen this year. […] Playwright Breznitsky proves herself a talent to be watched.
—Allen Neuner, Out in Jersey
“A mesmerizing story of career, cosmos, and caring. […] [Satellites] was recently chosen as the winner of the 2022 Premiere Play Festival, and it’s easy to see why. This two-hander brings heart and humor to an incredible story.”
—Marina Kennedy, Broadway World
“Breznitsky’s play moves briskly and effectively through the unexpected pathways of this relationship. … a contemplative two-hander that wonders how the interplay of proximity and distance affects the bonds that build love, family, and home.”
—Patrick Maley, NJ.com
“an interesting look at marriage from the perspective of distance — both physical distance and years apart from one another […] a wonderful play.”
—Gary Wien, New Jersey Stage
