There's An App 4 That

By Ned O'Reilly

Directed by Erskine Dahl

A woman’s personal and work lives collide when she relies too much on apps to solve all her problems. The play is a 2-act contemporary satirical comedy, and includes strong themes of personal identity, isolation, over-reliance on electronic devices, codependency, and corporate intrigue. And cats.
