Greg Kotis‘ guitar-powered, pandemic-cheated musical road trip, I AM NOBODY, rides again in an intimate production at The Magnet Theater, NYC.
Lucas’ cell phone is controlling his mind, but he’s ready to fight back by unleashing a cyber virus that will destroy the modern world.
Hot on his trail are Naomi, a troubled barmaid who has mistaken Lucas for a holy man with a holy plan, and Lucas’ co-worker Nathanial, who knows he’s not the one she’s obsessed with, but he’s so besotted he’ll drive her anywhere she wants to go.
Will they reach Lucas before he can destroy modernity?
Will this modern world tear them apart?
Will another pandemic clobber this 15-song original musical before it can get a single review?
