Information that used to take days or weeks to spread is now instantly available around the globe, and access to this information is just a mouse click away. Whether it is traditional media, or a personal post gone viral, information is now spreading faster than it ever has, and it is not always reliable information. In this panel, we examine the toll of social media on interpersonal relationships, and the influence of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Whatsapp, etc., at the social, political, and economic level.

Larry Fields’ new show is hilarious. Just ask him. Just as the title suggests the show is a fun, off-the-wall take on a talk show based around a series of rapid-fire random questions.

This is our way of celebrating our great and talented artists both on stage and off—and it’s a gig in the pandemic! This episode features Company Member Lucy Nuñez.
