When a balloon-obsessed man who works at Home Depot types his name into a search engine, he discovers that he shares it with a porn star. He, in turn, stole the moniker from a childhood nemesis, a poetry- blogging auto mechanic. Balloon Man convinces Porn Star and Auto Mechanic to meet with him.What starts as a curiosity turns into an obsession that makes these three men’s worlds violently collide again and again, under increasingly strange and farcical circumstances, until they have all been injured by each other, both physically and emotionally, several times over. The play is an insightful and entertaining window into our society’s preoccupation with fame and recognition, and how internet innovations like blogs and online chats promote one’s quest to be known, even as the same technology can lead to a debilitating isolation that increases the need for connection... There are no shows on Mondays, and Saturday 2PM matinees are Pay What You Can at the Door.
