USER AGREEMENT
by Ben Holbrook
Set in the near future. Sy and Theo, two souls, potentially soul mates, attempt to navigate their bond in a world enhanced by the wonders of technology, AI, and the occasional talking octopus. Building a relationship based on good music, deep conversation, and strong boundaries feels natural to them, but their beautiful bond finds itself struggling against a world turned upside down by the demons of human nature and the need for capital, causing them to wonder if, in a society designed to be more complex and visible than ever, it is possible for two simple souls to truly connect.

Theatre Beyond Broadway Review by Trey Radu-Blackburn
“The play deals with the truths of who we are in public and in private, the lengths we go as humans just to stay afloat in a deeply capitalistic world that would rather extract any and all resources from everything rather than just care for each other, and the involvement of technology in all of that, and if we can really have a true human interaction if we’re just trying to survive. Leaving the theatre with deep thoughts and considerations, this play is going to sit with me for a while. I love when I can leave a space with questions and hopes and fears and a determination to make a better future for myself and my community.” - Trey Radu-Blackburn, Theatre Beyond Broadway
Circles of Influence by Brendan McCall, CultureBot
“Under Dante Green's masterful direction, the piece fluidly slips between humor, tenderness, magic, and dystopia. Fresh and inventive, brought to life by a talented band of young adults pushing it, going for it. Frequently captivating with images and moments that will haunt you long after you leave the theater.” - Brendan McCall, CultureBot
Lavender After Dark Review by Jed Ryan
“User Agreement is heavy, but it also offers more than a chance of hope for all of us… provided we learn how to put the “human” back in “humanity”. This show is highly recommended!” - Jed Ryan, Lavender After Dark
There is No Ethical Dramamine Under Capitalism by Tara Giancaspro
“Forget the world of startup ‘disruptors'; these are the disruptors I long to see and to give 95 minutes of my evening.” - Tara Giancaspro, XOXO Gossip Giancaspro
