In a world where we're all constantly connected via the internet, why do so many people still feel alone?

In this series of interrelated vignettes, a young girl's most embarrassing moment goes viral, a recent high school grad must choose between real life and role-playing games, two girls spend Saturday night endlessly searching for the perfect party, and a teacher is accidentally wooed by her student on a dating site.

A funny, heartbreakingly real look at love and friendship in the age of social media.
REVIEWS:

"Lia Romeo's new play is very, very good, a wry, fast-paced look at American life in the age of YouTube."

 St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"A fascinating look at the cyber world we live in today... Romeo's work plays out in four vignettes, all of which touch on the themes of loneliness and deception. Alternately amusing and heart-breaking... an engaging work."

 Broadway World

"Enthralling and accurate... I found myself riveted as I waited to see what would happen to the sympathetically rendered characters."

 Theatre is Easy

"Connected's strength is that it manages to be a wry commentary on the way things are now, for better or for worse, without becoming condescending. What may end up being its biggest win is its potential to spark a dialogue across all platforms -- including face-to-face communication."
