Theatre Explores the Moral Quandaries of Tech - The Story

February 13
24 mins

Episode Description

Theatre and tech don't usually share the same stage. But that's changing. This season, two plays caught our eye: Data, a play about the inner workings of a data mining company, and Marjorie Prime, a play where grief, family, and AI collide. Karah interviews both playwrights: Matthew Libby (Data) and Jordan Harrison (Marjorie Prime). They discuss the origins of their plays, from failed collabs with AI chatbots to the internship with Palantir that never was. And how plays about technology can teach us about our humanity. 

Data runs through March 29th. Tickets are at lortel.org   

Marjorie Prime runs through February 15th. Buy Tickets at 2st.com
