Windom Area Middle School will be presenting “The Day the Internet Died” a comedy by Ian McWethy and Jason Pizzarella. This is a perfect opportunity to sit back and be entertained. The play takes place on a sunny day in the town of Bloomington, when a devastating occurrence happens. No, it’s not famine, or floods, or loss of your basic rights. The internet has gone down! And it will continue to be down! For a week! A whole week! Pandemonium! In a world that is so dependent on the internet for shopping, mailing, and posting pictures of cute babies, how will society function? Not well as it turns out. The Day the Internet Died hilariously explores how inept we are at dating, research, and basic human interactions when we don’t have a screen to look at. I had an opportunity to speak to one of the kiddos cast in this play and she is so excited to perform. The kids have been practicing after school and getting all their lines and movements down to a tee. There are two opportunities to watch this presentation of “The Day the Internet Died.” Windom Middle Schoolers will present on March 7th and 8th at 7pm each evening in the Lecture Hall. Tickets can be purchased at the door and are $5 for general admission.
