Overview

Synopsis

On a sunny day in the town of Bloomington, a devastating occurrence happens. No, it’s not famine, or floods, or loss of your basic rights. The internet has gone down! And it will continue to be down! For a week! A whole week! Pandemonium! In a world that is so dependent on the internet for shopping, mailing, and posting pictures of cute babies, how will society function? Not well as it turns out. The Day the Internet Died hilariously explores how inept we are at dating, research, and basic human interactions when we don’t have a screen to look at.

Featuring a large, flexible cast of 10-50 actors, The Day the Internet Died will make you chuckle and, perhaps, foster some interesting conversations around our dependence on social media and the internet.
