Neil McGowan's play is now A MOVIE!
LONERS
Coming to you soon in 2019! Watch here for more details!
A satire about an ensemble of eccentric loners caught in the middle of "The War on Loneliness," a program created by politicians to stem the growing tide of violence. Forced to endure a government-mandated group therapy class called "Lone-Anon," they are lead by a well-meaning, though ineffectual, therapist (Keith Stevenson) whose exercises become increasingly comical and unhelpful. As the loners are thrust into a government-created conspiracy to justify its failing program, they must figure out how to avoid being yet another introvert abducted by mysterious government ops. Forced to do what terrifies them most, they stand up for their right to be alone - together.

A touching, Orwellian comedy about a suspiciously possible future - in which ignoring a party invitation on Facebook gets you thrown into government-mandated therapy.
These anti-socialites come together while fighting for the right to be alone.
