About Love and Information
- Hi.
Love & Information is a series of disconnected vignettes joined together by their exploration of interactions in a modern world. Focusing, naturally, on themes of love and information, the play explores relationships & dynamics between people, organizations, technology, and nature. It touches on topics of all sorts, from family to identity to illness to AI.
2. I love you.
Love & Information is a story about communication. The play explores the many ways interactions can break, bend, and twist themselves into something new. It talks with itself about phones and computers, texting and emailing. It dives into the radio waves and TV signals to try and find what, exactly, has changed in our increasingly isolated landscape.
3. I don’t know you.
Love & Information is an argument. It is not an argument for or against any one thing in particular - it is arguing for argument's sake. It interrupts, talks over itself, refuses to listen, and stomps out the door without warning. It is mean and loud, needling and sharp, close and desperate. It needs to be heard, to be believed.
4. Call me sometime.
We hope you'll join us for our production! We run May 30-June 8.
Thanks to Paul Krumbein for writing this section!

Learn more about the program
This partnership between Seattle Central and Intiman Theatre is a direct response to two pressing issues: the need to diversify the crew who staff productions behind the scenes and the need to create an accessible path to the industry, especially for people of color.
Upon completion, students will earn a AA-DTA and can directly apply for IATSE union membership and enter the industry or transfer to a four-year program.
