Playground Comedy Festival - SCRIPT///NOT/FOUND: An Improvised Cyberpunk Adventure,

SCRIPT///NOT/FOUND: An Improvised Cyberpunk Adventure Presented as part of PlayGround’s inaugural Comedy Festival Concept by Matt Haley Directed by Diana Brown Featuring: Josh Caldwell, Gordon Downs, Mark Gardiner, Matt Haley, Sara Goetz, & Erin Souza Performances on: Sunday, March 22 at 4:00pm Saturday, March 28 at 5:30pm Sunday March 29 at 2:30pm Sunday March 29 at 8:30pm Streaming March 23–29 Replay through April 5 SCRIPT///NOT/FOUND is a fully improvised theatrical experiment in surviving your own obsolescence where every choice rewrites the code. The world has already been built: a corporate-owned cyberpunk city where the rent is too high, the coffee’s synthetic, and human emotion has been reclassified as “nonessential data.” The characters know their backstories, debts, and ex-lovers’ Wi-Fi passwords, though no one knows what will happen next. Each night, the performers improvise new encounters inside this doomed metropolis, where rebellion is a subscription service and authenticity costs extra. It’s dark. It’s funny. It’s basically Waiting for Godot with better lighting and worse privacy settings.T he ensemble creates an intricate world of corporate overlords, synthetic identities, and failing resistance movements — then improvises the daily absurdities of trying to stay real in a place that monetizes dreams. Humor isn’t escape; it’s weaponized empathy. We laugh so we don’t cry (or worse, subscribe).
