Zoom
Created in response to a year of living through the stress of the pandemic, Zoom is a short play that addresses the pain, stress, and hopelessness that were inevitable even in the earliest days. A monologue delivered from the perspective of the now ubiquitous app, Zoom speaks directly to anyone who has ever had to use their laptop to connect with the outside world to remind us all that the crisis won’t last forever but while it does, none of us has to be alone.
Zoom premiered in the Theater Resources Unlimited TRUSpeak – Hear Our Voices! 2021 fundraiser and starred Jim Brochu, Brenda Braxton, Robert Cuccioli, Ann Harada, Jana Robbins, and Dickie Hearts under the direction of Dennis Corsi along with the inspiration and guidance of TRU founder Bob Ost.
In 2022, Zoom was chosen to open the Left Edge’s Hindsight Theater Festival and was reinvented by a completely different production that only one actor.
