Corey is stuck streaming games from his basement over Twitch when a mysterious stranger from another planet begins to play along. 

WHY THIS PLAY: In a story built out of Youtube broadcasts, Twitch streams, Public Access Portland, Zoom and FaceTime calls, this is a play about connecting over distance for the current moment. This was built to be a “Zoom Theatre” play, but can also be performed with a live audience.
