ABOUT THE PLAY:

Something sinister is coming to the subdivision. Lurking on the hard-drive of every teenager in suburbia, “Neighborhood 3” is a video game that allows kids to fight zombies in a virtual reality that looks strangely familiar.

Parents grow increasingly frantic as players descend deeper into the game-world. Playwright Jennifer Haley invites us to examine the veneer of control that shrouds the world of identical houses and exposes a suburban dystopia. As the boundaries crumble between our world and its virtual mirror, what happens when we replace interaction with interface? Panic pervades this compelling zombie thriller and fear takes on a life of its own.

Featuring: Josh Aaseng, Patrick Allcorn, Natalie Breitmeyer, Kelly Hyde

With designs by: Andrea Bryn Bush, Ben Zamora, Brendan Patrick Hogan, Pete Rush, Amiya Brown
