The data is out there. The danger is real.
Matthew Libby’s suspenseful new play DATA pulls back the curtain on Silicon Valley’s darkest ambitions. When a brilliant young programmer learns his own algorithm is the key to a massive AI surveillance project, he’s forced to challenge the tech world he once dreamt of joining. Confronting today’s most controversial headlines, this subversive thriller follows the terrifying choices at our fingertips—and the high cost of disrupting a system that tracks your every move.
Karan Brar (Diary of a Wimpy Kid) stars as Maneesh, reprising his role from Data’s 2024 world premiere at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. New to the Off-Broadway cast are Brandon Flynn (13 Reasons Why) as Jonah, Sophia Lillis (It) as Riley, and Justin H. Min (The Umbrella Academy) as Alex.
Tyne Rafaeli directs, and the creative team also includes costume designer Enver Chakartash, set designer Marsha Ginsberg, composer and sound designer Daniel Kluger, and lighting designer Amith Chandrashaker.
