I Met You on TV, Doesn't That Mean Something?

by Catherine Weingarten

FULL LENGTH, (5F, 1M) Two podcasters from a Bachelor type reality show vibe a bit too much while interviewing reality stars who think they have it all together. This satirical play explores and challenges the cost of performing being "in love" to the whole world, influencer culture and just how far people will go to prove they #care about mental health.

    Funny! The characters are completely vapid and ridiculous but they were hot, so there was
    definitely an attraction to them.

    This was so ridiculous and fun. I'm not a laugher and I laughed aloud a bunch while reading this play. Excellent.

    Weingarten is the voice of this generation for all things celebrity culture and social media living. I know few other writers that perfectly captures the unique problems and language of this current day and age. Definitely don't need to be a fan of reality dating shows to appreciate this play but it will make it oh so much better if you are.
