Running the Light

March 30 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

$25

SPARC Theater’s 3rd annual Science@Play Series tackles themes of AI. The newly commissioned staged reading will be Running the Light by award-winning Prince Gomolvilas. These script-in-hand readings will include a post-show discussion with the actors, the producing team, and the playwright.

Details:
After a failed career in standup comedy, Pong has taken a soul-sucking job as an AI engineer at his younger brother Samson’s thriving chatbot company. But when the artistic bug bites again, Pong decides to leverage the company’s AI technology to write jokes, and he hits open mic nights once again—much to Samson’s dismay. The sparring brothers’ sibling rivalry reaches epic proportions in this timely yet timeless exploration of a fractured Thai-American family, the uneasy intersection of art and technology, and the question of what it means to be human in the modern age. And yes, this synopsis was written by ChatGPT.
Or was it?
