“Spending the End of the World on OK Cupid”

January 26, 2019 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

Spending the End of the World on OK Cupid
Jeffrey Lo
Pear Theatre
Michelle Skinner and Tasi Alabastro
A modern day prophet for the last six months has been screaming his prediction that the world would end last night; and in fact, half the world’s population suddenly evaporated.  He now says that tonight at midnight, everyone else on earth will complete “The Vanishing.”

With that premise, there are merely a few hours of existence remaining as Jeffrey Lo’s play, Spending the End of the World on OK Cupid, opens, now in its second production at Pear Theatre after being commissioned in 2016 by Ohlone College’s Theatre and Dance Department.

For my full review, please continue to Talkin’ Broadway:  https://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/regional/sanjose/sj150.html
