"Artificial"
Playwright: Sean Keneally
Director: Nathan Dame

"Artificial" explores the small glances and interactions we all share with one another, be it on a subway or in a restaurant, and how these moments, which appear to be insignificant, can change your life. Daniel, an early 20 year old with an over active imagination and curiosity, wanders into a bar on New Years Eve to find Charles, early 30's and shut off from himself and the rest of the world. Through a conversation between the two, spanning topics from sex, lies, death, and Oprah, intimate stories are revealed leading to arguments, moments of clarity, and almost a fist fight.

At the end, right when it appears an actual connection has been made, it is revealed that both men have spent their time together spewing out nothing but lies. This is irrelevant, however. You don't need random facts to discover who someone is. Some things can't be shared by simply telling a story.
