This is so exciting!!! In dis connect Generation Y questions "why" technology is taking over the lives of so many people. I loved loved LOVED this play and everything about it! :D I really hope you enjoy the review!
Best of luck to the senior BA Theater Studies majors of MSU as the graduate and move on to bigger and better things in the theater world. :) Here's to hoping as well that the dis connect phenomenon will catch on and become a published play performed for years to come!
During my sophomore year at Montclair State University I have befriended senior English and Theater Studies major Amanda Schott. She is the Assistant Director of the upcoming Peak Performance dis connect, which is a brand new original production, more specifically the senior BA Theater Studies project, about our use of technology. It is premiering in the L. Howard Fox Studio Theatre next Thursday. The idea for a play like this had to have happened sooner or later considering how technology is so prominent in our lives nowadays haha.
Because Amanda has been trying to promote the show via Facebook (ironically), I decided to help her by making this promotional video, starring Amanda herself. In it she discusses the background of dis connect, what she wants the audience to take with them from the performance, etc. Interestingly she talks about how our generation, Generation Y, is mainly affected by technology. I can vouch for that. Here I am promoting a production trying to convey that very message by using my Canon camera, MacBook Pro, Facebook, Blogspot, and YouTube.
Also, here is a preview of the show, which is discussed in my interview with Amanda. (Contains some choice language):
