Do you control your algorithm, or does it control you?

Brave New Workshop is back with an all-new sketch comedy revue to help you flex on your feed, face your FOMO, and finally feel the freedom to forget your phone! Imagine taking a break from that tiny screen that brings you so much joy, horror and shame to take a hilarious look at how it brings other people joy, horror and shame. Tired of social media being so anti-social? Sick of explaining to “that one uncle” how the post he’s citing as “scientific evidence” was written by a Russian chatbot? Ready to throw down in the comment section even though you know it’s the wort idea ever? Sometimes finding out you’re not alone is the first step to feeling better.

Workshop veterans Lauren Anderson, Denzel Belin, Isabella Dunsieth, Doug Neithercott and Taj Ruler return to the stage along with Music Director Jon Pumper and Technical Director Matthew Vichlach, and all of them are in desperate need of likes, comments, and shares. The Algorithm is Gonna Get You previews August 13-20 and opens on August 21. Performances run through November 7.
