Berlin HS Theater Hosting Hysterical Play About Life With No Internet

BERLIN, CT — Young performers at Berlin High School this Friday and Saturday are performing a unique, theatrical presentation about a topic we all can relate to ... the internet.

BHS Theatre is presenting the comedy "The Day The Internet Died" at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24, and 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, in the BHS auditorium,

According to show organizers, "The Day the Internet Died" is a fast-paced and hilarious look at how a community copes when life online comes to a screeching halt.

"Join our talented cast and crew of over 30 students as they bring this timely and witty play to the stage," wrote BHS in an announcement.

The play was written by noted playwrights Ian McWethy and Jason Pizzarello, and it tells the tale of what happens in one Indiana town when the internet is turned off.

According to BHS teacher and show director Jennifer Taliercio, the performance is highly relatable to folks, especially teens, given how dominant the internet is in all of our lives.

"This show is incredibly relevant to our current age. It is a satire that focuses on a community that loses the internet for a week. We see many struggle with the loss of TikTok, Instagram, online shopping, etc.," said BHS teacher and show director Jennifer Taliercio.

Tickets to the show are available at the door and online, with adults $15 and students $10.
