sissy

A New Play Reading

Every morning, Trent clocks in at queer.io, a tech startup where feeds training data into a machine learning algorithm, works through lunch, and is the last one in the office before he clocks out and goes home. Day in and day out, Trent never seems to be able to make a dent in the data or get ahead at work despite sacrificing his personal life to do so. But that all changes when the algorithm he’s been teaching seems to take on a life of its own. Sissy is an absurdist comedy about a modern gay Sisyphus, our increasingly fragmented views of pop culture, and our outlandish expectations that AI will be the solution to very human problems.
