100 minutes
Honorary Producers: Linda & David Glickstein

Creatively combining engaging individual performers with dynamic virtual design elements, D-Pad is an entertaining and surprising experience for theater lovers and new audiences.
Featuring Ang Bey, Paloma Irizarry, Anthony Martinez-Briggs, and Michael Doherty.
D-Pad explores the world of independent gaming through the lens of wunderkind developer Alex as she creates something beyond entertainment. Written with humor, thoughtfulness, and humanity, D-Pad follows Alex as she finds herself in a nightmare of production delays, self-doubt, and a rabid fan base. Interactions with real and virtual characters lead Alex into self-isolation as she struggles with family and in her male-dominated industry.
