THE GLITCH Will Be Performed at Next Step Festival
Performances run May 27–June 6, 2025.
The world premiere production of Kipp Koenig's THE GLITCH, directed by Ann Cooley. will play a special limited engagement at the Gural Theatre at A.R.T. (West 53rd Street, NYC) as part of the Next Step Festival from May 27–June 6, 2025. Following the festival, the production will move to an open-ended Off-Broadway engagement at the Jerry Orbach Theater at The Theatre Center, beginning in September 2025.
A sci-fi dramedy about the daughter you haven't had and the person you realize you want to become.
Amy has found the perfect man. He dreams of five kids, but she's not even sure she wants one. In search of clarity, she visits a futuristic lab where advanced emotional AI generates a holographic teenager based on her and her partner's DNA. However, when a glitch in the system reveals something impossible, the actual spirit of her future daughter, Amy must decide whether to listen to the voice reaching across time or retreat to the life she thought she wanted.
When Amy walks through the door, Wyatt, the lab's brilliant but reclusive founder who hides behind a false identity and a lifetime of guilt, is forced to confront a childhood tragedy, the possibility of redemption, and the stunning truth that love, memory, and forgiveness are more intertwined than ever imagined.
Blending humor, heartbreak, and sci-fi intimacy, The Glitch explores the nature of connection in an increasingly synthetic world. It dares to ask: what if the AI you feared could help you become the parent you always wished you had? What if it could connect you with the one person meant to guide you there?
The Glitch is a story about finding grace in unexpected places and discovering that we may be more than our programming, and so are the machines.
The production stars Danielle Augustine as Amy, Jacquie Bonnet as Wendy, Eva Coppola as Aurora, Hannah Rose Doherty as Hailey, and Ian Campbell Dunn as Wyatt. (Anya van Hoogstraten will be the standby).
The production features scenic design by Josh Oberlander, costume design by Danny Colon, and lighting design by Zack Lobel. Sound design is by Kipp Koenig and Bryan Kohl, and Kayla Katona is the stage manager. Publicity by Katie Rosin/Kampfire PR.
