'Advanced Persistent Teenagers' - A Play by Deepak Kumar

Chalk Circle Collective presents a brand new play in an experimental workshop production to Cygnet Theatre's Joan Performing Arts Center.

"Advanced Persistent Teenagers" by Deepak Kumar (House of India at the Old Globe) follows 2 teenage hackers, Axyz and Lapras, who only know each other through online voice chat. When their hacker collective, dark w0rld, abruptly disbands, the boys find themselves adrift. Searching for purpose—and still craving the rush—the two launch a plan that may just change the hacker world forever.

This "workshop production" is a novel concept rarely seen in the landscape of professional theatre. The 2-person play will be fully staged and produced - but because this workshop process is an opportunity for playwright Deepak Kumar to revise and explore, the actors will have new rewrites for every performance. With new script pages in hand, our two incredible actors will navigate a different and unique version of the play each night. There will even be 2 alternate endings on the 2 weekends at the Joan so you can come back and see just how much has changed!

Becks Redman, artistic producer at the Old Globe, directs this production starring Devyn Wade and Giancarlo Lugo. Chalk Circle Collective is the avant garde theatre company behind last year's "The Strangers" at the Old Town theatre and the award-winning productions of "Constellations" and "The Turn of the Screw"
