How do our simulated relationships transition to the ones IRL? In CONNECTED, characters navigate this tricky terrain through a series of interrelated vignettes: a young girl's most embarrassing moment goes viral, a high school student must choose between real life and role-playing games, two girls spend Saturday night endlessly searching for the “perfect party,” and a teacher is accidentally seduced by her student on an internet dating site.
"Thomas Muccioli is incredible throughout the production"
"Thomas Muccioli ...steals his scenes with an hilariously deadpan comedic delivery and spot-on timing for tenderness.’’
"Thomas Muccioli as a sarcastic gay student, wise beyond his years, is especially amusing..."
"a top-notch vivacious ensemble . . . Robby Clater and Thomas Muccioli took on the best bros of slightly nerdy Jeremy and gay boy Scott respectively.’’
"Thomas Muccioli is a consistent comedic scene-stealer as Jeremy's best friend and Sharon's little brother, Scott."
