The Echo Theater Company will close the world premiere of Wirehead, a new play by Matthew Benjamin and Logan Brown, directed by Larry Biederman. The show began previews on February 11th with an official opening on February 13th.

Wirehead is a hilarious and provocative cautionary tale that contemplates the evolving synthesis of technology and humanity. Wires, chips and chargers designed to enhance the mind prove too good for the mind to handle. Short-circuited by resentment and jealousy in the hands of humans, too much intelligence now possessed by the non-human electronic elements has riotous and gruesome results.

Directed by award-winning theatre director Larry Biederman, the cast of Wirehead will feature (in alphabetical order) Jeremy Maxwell, Riel Paley, Ethan Phillips ("Star Trek: Voyager"), Marc Rose, Amanda Saunders, and Sam Shelton. The critically acclaimed design team includes set by Efren Delgadillo, Jr., lighting by Dan Weingarten, sound by Drew Dalzell, and costumes by Audrey Eisner. Producers for the Echo Theater Company are Lauren Bass and Chris Fields.
