Nothing is the End of the World (except for the end of the world)

In the near-distant future, an NYC charter school becomes the first to welcome artificially intelligent students. However, new AI students Olive and Godfrey receive a chilly welcome from the already self-conscious and stressed-out members of the Junior class. When a reality show swoops in to capture this social experiment on camera, the priorities and moralities of the student body are turned inside-out. This dark new play questions how we reconcile the thin line between our ever-improving technologies and what it means to be human.
