“Baby Spiderman KILLED EVIL Spider!!” goes viral on YouTube Kids. In a virtual world called Awakenings, a rogue AI escapes the Simulation. Offline, a high school choir prepares to sing in one voice…unaware that it is their final performance. When a school shooting shatters their reality, the tenuous web connecting these stories begins to unravel.
SPIDER is a bold, haunting drama about iPad kids, collective trauma, and what we entrust to our algorithms. A powerful teen-centered play about the digital traces we leave behind—and what it means to come of age inside the systems meant to protect us.
