UNRELIABLE NARRATOR THEATER GROUP DEBUTS CYBERPUNK MUSICAL COMEDY ENTITLED 2010: OUR HIDEOUS FUTURE: THE MUSICAL!
BOSTON, MA--July 23, 2010--Unreliable Narrator in collaboration with The Pluto Tapes presents 2010: Our Hideous Future: The Musical!, a cyberpunk musical comedy that will be staged Friday, August 20 through Saturday, August 28 at the Boston Playwrights’ Theatre located at 949 Commonwealth Avenue,

But judging by the apathy of her lover Dehnise Compuserve and of her fellow humans, it may be too late.
2010: Our Hideous Future: The Musical! features Kamela Dolinova, Emily Taradash, Julia Lunetta, Timothy Hoover, John Deschene, Kay Coughlin, Katie Drexel, Ginger Lazarus, and Will Todisco.
