Auditions: Silicon Valley Twelfth Night
Michael Hirsch
Center of the Universe AI Entertainment announces auditions for Silicon Valley Twelfth Night.
In this wildly funny reimagining of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, Silicon Valley’s AI obsessed spiral through ambition, desire, and algorithmic chaos in a relentless quest for power, connection, and meaning. As identities blur and hearts misfire, learning how to love — and be loved — becomes a gloriously messy affair. In a world obsessed with optimization, one question remains: Is love a feature… or a bug?
