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.

A hit!
The show was a hit! People were disappointed there was only one show. :-) And the kids LOVED working with the script!

Hilarious!
Our school hasn't had a drama club in four years and this play was perfect for a newbie director AND my students! Our audience loved it, the students dived into the roles and had so much fun making them their own. This play has a great message, wrapped up in hilarity and absurdity.
