Spring Production: The Day the Internet Died
Written by Ian McWethy and Jason Pizzarello
Directed by Abbey Roin-Thigpen
No Wi-Fi. No filters. No idea what to do.
When the internet suddenly crashes, an ordinary day turns into a full-blown middle school meltdown. Phones become useless bricks. Gamers freeze. Influencers can't influence. And without Google ... how is anyone supposed to know anything?!
In The Day the Internet Died, students (and adults) scramble to survive without streaming, scrolling, snapping, or posting. Packed with big laughs, dramatic overreactions, and painfully relatable moments, this high-energy comedy proves that even when the signal drops to zero bars, real-life connection is still at full strength.
This family-friendly show is suitable for all ages and runs approximately one hour.
Showtimes:
- Friday, March 13 at 7:00 p.m.
- Saturday, March 14 at 1:00 p.m.
