Writing about FATEBOOK
"A groundbreaking step into a theater of the future!" "One of the most unique and immersive theatrical productions I’ve ever experienced!-- The Broad Street Review
"This beautiful, energetic young cast communicates physically and virtually, on Facebook and Twitter, not only during the performances but also around it. This ensemble fits together like stitches in a perfectly-knit sweater, complementing, strengthening and softening each other. Neither the characters nor their missions make the show but how we pay attention and what we take for granted that drives this remarkable conception."--Phawer.com
"Brilliant!!"--The Philadelphia City Paper
NPL premiered FATEBOOK: AVOIDING CATASTROPHE ONE PARTY AT A TIME at the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival.
