#IRL
A new musical by Zina Goldrich and David Javerbaum.
#IRL musically explores the way we live today —
the good, the bad, and the pickleball.
Through songs and sketches, it delves into our hopes and anxieties, the technologies that both connect and divide us, and our ongoing search for human connection in an increasingly chaotic world that, despite living on devices, still happens In Real Life.
Written by 13-time Emmy and 2-time Grammy Award winner David Javerbaum (An Act of God, “The Daily Show,” @TweetOfGod) and Drama Desk-nominated, Fred Ebb Award winner Zina Goldrich (“Taylor the Latte Boy,” Ever After, The Great American Mousical).
