HYPERLINK Set for The Metropolitan Room, 7/20

Hyperlink, a song cycle written by Sarah Fiete, will be presented at The Metropolitan Room for one night only on Wednesday, July 20, 2016, at 9:30 pm. Hyperlink is a new song cycle made of humor, heartbreak, and hashtags that explores how the internet refracts our basic human emotions. Running about an hour long, Hyperlink uses three actors to tell a variety of Digital-Age-based stories.

Directed by Ben Liebert and music directed by Jacob Shapiro, with additional instruments by Alex Fiete, Hyperlink will feature Amy Jo Jackson, Cornelius Davis, and Brooke Shapiro. Rachel Kunstadt produces.

Tickets for Hyperlink are $15 and can be purchased at www.metropolitanroom.com. There is a two-drink minimum.
