In-Zoom: a world premiere play

A world-premiere 10-minute play

Created by Bill Irwin

Recorded from the live performance on Thursday, May 14, 2020 at 6:30 p.m. Pacific time. Also available on The Old Globe's YouTube Channel.

“A bright, silly, and sweet spot in the current theatre universe.” BroadwayWorld

Two comic minds convene a meeting on Zoom and surprise themselves as they look at our particular pandemic moment and the virtual way we’re living it. Two-time Tony Award winner Bill Irwin (Fool Moon, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) and three time Tony Award nominee Christopher Fitzgerald (Broadway’s Waitress, Young Frankenstein, Wicked) delight in Irwin’s beguiling take on our new reality.
