The Collectin Presents Running Scared: The Technology Show 12/9-11

November 17, 2010 The Collectin, a theater and film company of 35 college-age actors, directors, writers, and artists will be performing the piece on December 9th-December 11th at Center Stage in New York City. The performances consist of a series vignettes related to modern technology, the effects technology has on our interpersonal relationships and the world around us. As perhaps the last generation to have grown up with pen in hand, the work marks an interesting transition point filled with excitement, confusion, fear and abuse. Running Scared stresses the importance to monitor how being plugged into these gadgets affect our lives.

RUNNING SCARED: THE TECHNOLOGY SHOW will take place on Thursday 12/9 through Saturday 12/11, at 8pm, at Center Stage, NY. The theater is located at 48 21st Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues in the Flatiron District. Tickets are available through brownpapertickets.com.
