'Reality is Broken' Sandbox @ CTG Free Event Set for Today

Center Theatre Group presents a discussion between the visionary game designer, futurist and bestselling author of "Reality is Broken," Jane McGonigal, and playwright Jennifer Haley, winner of the 2012 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, at the Veterans Memorial Building in Culver City, today, March 8 at 8 p.m.

Admission is free, but seating is limited and reservations are required.

Inspired by Haley's new play at CTG's Kirk Douglas Theatre, "The Nether," a thriller about an online realm in the not too distant future, McGonigal and Haley will discuss the implications of the increasing amount of time spent in virtual worlds in what some have termed a "mass exodus" from offline existence. Are these experiences fulfilling genuine human needs? How are lives, experiences and relationships affected by this migration?
