About the Show
It’s the Fall of 2021, and the Cellar Theatre is back in production after a
year of Zoom programming. When Lauren Ellis, the lead actress in the
Cellar’s production of the American classic "Midnight Cicadas," spots an
audience member filming the show with his phone, Lauren strikes back –
stopping the show and refusing to perform. A video of the incident goes
viral, bringing the Cellar praise for speaking out against poor theatre
etiquette. But when an online commenter gives an alternate interpretation
of the same event, the praise quickly turns bitter, and the criticism
begins to mount. The overworked and underpaid staff suddenly have to
navigate in-fighting, diva tantrums, illegal vaping and internet trolls…not
to mention the Cellar’s problematic history.
After the performance on Sunday, there will be a free talkback. Talkbacks
give the audience an opportunity to ask questions and hear more about the
performance from the people who worked on the show! For more information

*This audio-described performance is made possible in part by a grant from
the New Jersey Theater Alliance, a nonprofit service organization that
promotes, supports, and strengthens the non-profit professional theaters of
New Jersey and the region.*
