The Nether
by Jennifer Haley
Directed by Andy Head

March 26-29, 2026
Sklarsky Glass Box Theater

Set in the not-too-distant-future, The Nether envisions a world where humans spend most of their waking hours immersed in a virtual, metaverse-like existence. Blade Runner meets Westworld meets Ready Player One. In the Nether’s darkest corners, illicit activities unfold, but if it’s just code, do any real-world consequences apply? This sci-fi thriller blurs the line between what’s virtual and what’s real, and poses questions without easy answers. 

Content disclosure: This show explores mature content, including discussions of child endangerment, sexual exploitation of minors, and suicide. No explicit depictions of these topics will be staged.
