“What’s next?” Where do you go when you don’t know what you want from your career? From your relationships? From life? #Hashtag is a new comedy directed by Jeffrey Wienckowski and devised by The Mechanical Heart, a group of UCSD Alumni. It explores the other kind of LA gridlock: the daily struggle to remain engaged in the present moment in a culture built on social media and status anxiety.
As the audience entered the Elephant Space, they were encouraged to keep their phones ON, take photos and video (which they can upload to Instagram and Youtube) and live-tweet the characters onstage. With #Hashtag, The Mechanical Heart is making social media an essential part of the theatrical experience.
“#Hashtag is a must see at the Hollywood Fringe… Definitely worth the hour spent in the theatre. And don’t forget to hashtag it!”- Gia on the Move
