    This dark comedy looks at our collective addiction to our cell phones, taking the consequences of this addiction to its logical (and devastating) conclusion. But, at the same time, it's hilarious! The roles for these two actors are so meaty (given Ben's excellent monologues at the chicken processing plant, the pun is intended!), and the play manages to explore a very serious issue in an incredibly fun way,

    SCREEN TIME serves as a cautionary warning about letting phone addiction consume our lives and relationships. It often feels like a car crash you can't look away from as the central couple gets pulled more and more into the world of their AI baby and their personalities twist and fracture. It's also a comedy. A really funny one. Until it's not.

    A hilarious satire about parenting in the world of smartphones. Cho has wonderfully captured the anxieties and fears of being a parent for the first time. Things in this play get really dark but Cho always finds the pitch black humor in any situation.
