Insomniac Cybersociety
Synopsis There’s nothing like a bunch of teens hanging out together in a virtual chat room to provide the perfect setting for a virtual play! Looking for a way to cope with sleepless nights, Poppy creates the Insomniac Cybersociety as a safe, online place for awake but tired teens confined to their bedrooms to pass the long night hours of sleeplessness. It’s almost like going to a slumber party every night, with lighthearted conversation between these virtual friends. Luckily, Poppy strictly enforces the rules to the private chat room: no personal information, no talking about the time, and no consulting with one another about curing their insomnia. New recruits, like Bunny Slippers, must pass an extensive screening by the group before being allowed to join. But Poppy’s own diligence begins to fall victim to exhaustion, made worse by the fact that Poppy is not always aware when she falls asleep, so her conscious thoughts and her dreams fuse together to create strange realities and stranger dreams. Luckily, the latest outsider who gained entry into the secret society cares about Poppy and wants to help. With a completely gender-neutral, totally teenage cast, this virtual comedy is well-suited for middle or high school productions, including at all-girls schools and all-boys schools, teen theatre camps and classes, and virtual one-act competitions.
