Comic Potential

In the future, soap operas will not only appear to be acted by robots, they actually will be! A programming glitch helps one of the “Actoids” (Jacie) discover her sense of humor. This captivates a young writer who wants to develop her comic potential. Of course he falls in love with her, which sets off some very strange new responses in Jacie, including spontaneous music! A wacky and off-beat social satire that won Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk and Olivier Awards.
