This hilarious and heartfelt new play centers on 22-year-old Jennifer Marcus, an obsessive-compulsive agoraphobic young woman with a genius-level IQ and a remarkable love of technology. She spends her entire life in her bedroom, in front of her computer screen, with only her adoptive parents, her online friends, and an occasional visit from the pizza guy for company. In a quest to learn more about her biological parents, she builds a fully functioning robotic replica of herself, “Jenny Chow”, who helps Jennifer make the “virtual” connections she needs to discover her Chinese birth mother and eventually her own sense of self.
