The Program (2021)

Written and Directed by Ezra Reaves and Amy Langer
Featuring Cecil Baldwin, Brenda Arellano, Tonya Narvaez, and Clare Palmer

This immersive one-on-one theatrical performance takes place entirely over the phone. In this 45-minute interactive performance, you'll dive into a telephonic wormhole that takes the universal experience of navigating an automated phone tree to its most absurd and hilarious extremes. But don't worry: there's an operator standing by.

REVIEWS

“Imagine if a phone tree kept you digging deeper and deeper and you never reached that live operator who was currently helping someone else; also imagine if, say, the interactive voice agent controlling said phone tree was a bit lonely, or jealous, or perhaps even… possessive. I’d say more about The Program but that it would rob potential listeners of the joy of discovering its surreal and twisted telephonic world on their own.”
—Kathryn Yu, No Proscenium

“One of the most clever, entertaining, thought provoking, highly relevant and technically sophisticated virtual audio performances I have ever experienced. A five star event! The sold-out 2021 run ended far too soon. I'll be first in line should The Program return for encore transmissions.”
—Ed Decker, Artistic Director of the New Conservatory Theater Center
