Theatrical romantic comedy explores love in digital spaces with virtual show

As events that would draw crowds under normal circumstances go virtual, an upcoming performance from American Conservatory Theater centers on building connections in digital spaces as a central theme. “In Love and Warcraft,” a play by Madhuri Shekar, is a romantic comedy about a young woman’s exploration of her identity in an online role-playing game and expressing it in the real world. Peter J. Kuo, associate conservatory director and the director of “In Love and Warcraft,” said audience members have connected to one another in immediate and engaged ways during virtual live performances.
