Stage Door News
1 in 8 people living in America met through social media last year... Or at least that’s what Tim (Matty Burns) and Katherine (Ruth Goodwin) keep telling themselves as they fly solo through their “quarter life crisis”, dealing with the “tags” of social media and e-meet on Molten Lava - the website for lonely sexy singles.
Tim was a college hero but in Toronto he is a basement-dwelling zero. Katherine, on the other hand, is a workaholic who’s sacrificed her personal life for her career only to realize that a glass condo gets mighty lonely at night. With the blank canvas that social media provides, they try to create online versions of themselves with hilarious consequences. Can they move past the stigma against online dating to truly be able to find a connection online?
TAGGED & IT’S COMPLICATED is a humorous and poignant 55-minute musical peek into the half-truths of online dating.
*Any similarities between this story and your own hilariously horrific online dating experiences is purely coincidental.
