Plays By Bots
Don’t fear the machines in this half-human, half-machine amalgamation of improv hootenanny! This hilarious hybrid show created by Rapid Fire Theatre’s Joe Vanderhelm comes to Dad’s Garage for two special performances sure to electrify your circuits and kickstart your guffaws!
The concept is simple: The collaborative, stage-and-screen-minded Dramatron (an AI developed by Kory Mathewson and Piotr Mirowski) generates the first half of a script based on a curated prompt. Our Ensemble actors—who have never seen this script before—must act out the written script live and, after the cold-read, must pick up where the bot left off by improvising the play’s concluding half! It’s unpredictable, unconventional, and unlike anything you’ve seen before.
