SYNOPSIS:

Sam loves Timmy, and Lucy loves Max, but the pressures of modern life leave them anxious, lonely, and susceptible to the siren song of tech. Do our devices—tantalizingly incarnate in this funny, sexy, uncanny world premiere—really know us best? Are our digital footprints predictive of our future choices, or are they choosing for us? When Sam and Lucy’s parents make a shocking announcement, the family is forced to confront what’s distracted them from each other—and the legacy they’ll leave behind.

A.C.T.’s Artistic Director Pam MacKinnon and playwright Kate Attwell reunite to realize this revolutionary piece, inspired by Attwell’s experience touring Mozilla’s “Glass Room” pop-up interactive exhibit in San Francisco. Come explore questions of attention, connection, nourishment, and the dizzying possibilities of AI.



Directed by Pam McKinnon

Featuring Gabriel Brown, Rosie Hallett, Julia McNeal, Michael Phillis, Harold Surratt, Jomar Tagatac, BD Wong, Eddie Ewell, Norman Gee, Jeremy Kahn, Stacy Ross, Megan Trout
