The Sacramento Premiere of LOVE AND INFORMATION will be the main-stage directorial debut of local theatre talent, Benjamin T. Ismail.

In this Brave New World of Technology and The Information Age, Capital Stage explore's Churchill's reflections on our modern society. LOVE AND INFORMATION will run from January 27 through February 28, 2016 with a Press Opening on Saturday, January 30 at 8pm. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Someone sneezes. Someone can't get a signal. Someone won't answer the door. Someone put an elephant on the stairs. Someone's not ready to talk. Someone is her brother's mother. Someone hates irrational numbers. Someone told the police. Someone got a message from the traffic light. Someone's never felt like this before. In this fast-moving kaleidoscope, more than a hundred characters try to make sense of what they know. From award-winning playwright Caryl Churchill comes an acclaimed new play that takes a close look at the Information Age and how its data inspired obsessions, FaceTime conversations, and celebrity selfies threaten to replace human contact.

The cast will feature Rob August (ANNA KARENINA, THE ELABORATE ENTRANCE OF CHAD DEITY, IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE), Eric Baldwin (TRUE WEST, IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE), Gail Dartez (THE TYPOGRAPHER'S DREAM, LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES, RELATIVELY SPEAKING), Kristine Elizabeth David (MAURITIUS), Jacob Garcia (Capital Stage debut), Laura Kaya (Capital Stage debut), Jouni Kirjola (MR.
