New Fringe Play Merges Sitcom Nostalgia and AI Nightmares

Squeaky Wheel Fringe Festival Comes to Asolo's Cook Theater June 3-8

Posted

SARASOTA — What's a little girl robot to do now that the singularity has occurred, and just in time for Christmas? Check in with the Trumans, America's favorite TV family and their mechanical moppet, Andie the Android, as they face the End of the World and discover the True Meaning of Christmas… or else!

The Improvisational Repertory Theatre Ensemble is thrilled to present Wow Wee! Adventures of a Little Girl Killbot Christmas Special! at Squeaky Wheel Fringe. Wow Wee! is a darkly comic improvised “Holiday Special” that transports audiences into a post-apocalyptic world through the lens of a 1980s-style sitcom.

At the heart of this family is Andie the Android, who compels her family to reenact a Christmas special every single night, thrusting them into an endless loop of holiday cheer to prove humanity’s worth.
