Show Highlights from Please Don’t Touch
Since March of 2020, Siobhán has written and performed over 90 episodes of PDT.
Below, you will find excerpts from some of our favorites, including romantic comedy My Heart Goes Zoom (which will give you a sense of the overall interactive experience of PDT), as well as #fanfavorites Kevin and Within/Without, which provide more intimate examples of the varying nature of these online performances.
My Heart Goes Zoom
My Heart Goes Zoom, Siobhán’s Magnus Zoom Opus, is a two-hour performance piece in two parts on zoom, available for booking for any and all of your remote event needs.
Join us for this interactive romantic comedy starring YOU as Siobhan explores genuine human connection (and, you know, zoom flirting) through a screen.
Sparkle Bouncer
Sometimes, you’ve just got to hire Vontessa, the Sparkle Bouncer, to perform all of your emotionally laborious tasks for you.
Sound design and technical direction by Alex Hale.
Holiday Party 2021
An excerpt from the PDT Holiday Party in December of 2021, in which Siobhán quotes the LA Times article about James Otis in 2016, harkening back to previous bright spots in other dark years.
Within/Without
What if your inner demons became external? What happens when you try to conduct a normal conversation, like, say, buying a bottle of sweet vermouth from a liquor store, and you’re rendered incapable because the horrors around you feed the horrors within? Within/Without explores depression, anxiety, and internalized trauma in an externally traumatized world. It’s a choose-your-own adventure story of knowing your self, demons and all.
Co-written by Andy Daugherty. Sound design by Brendan Leahy and Brandon Roe.
Kevin
Your coworker was your best friend.
Okay, not really your BEST friend. Just, a very good friend. March of 2020 changed the landscape of friendships with our coworkers, and many of us miss the unique, extraordinary, and fleeting connections we all once had with our various Kevins.
