WHAT'S HAPPENING!
🎭 SOCIAL INSECURITY 🎭
Zoomcatchers is pleased to be the digital presenter for SOCIAL INSECURITY, a bold new metatheatrical fantasy by Coni Koepfinger at the Rogue Theater Festival, August 4 - 10, 2025. SOCIAL INSECURITY is directed by Byron C. Saunders and Jon Hayden, featuring Patricia Van Tassel, Paul Eisemann, Jon Hayden, Ken Coughlin, Matt Matthews, and Sabrina Morabito. Music composed by Walter Bland.
When playwright Michael falls for his leading lady, Patricia, backstage romance turns into onstage chaos. As scheming director Harvey Hanger plots to hijack Michael’s fortune—with the help of a shady actor and a staged robbery—reality and performance collide.
✨ Can love survive when art imitates anxiety?
💥 Will the drama on stage be the least of their problems?
