Red Flags: A Video Date

Capital W’s long-running bad date experience is coming to your laptop. Like many of us, Emma has taken her dating life fully online. That will probably work out great. Come escape into the awkward hilarity of the worst date you’ll ever go on in this online adaptation of the show named “Best Overall Immersive Work” at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. This edition of RED FLAGS is an adaptation of Capital W’s award-winning IRL show, a highly interactive theater experience for audiences of one-at-a-time. On this fictional first date, audiences “meet” and experience the character of Emma — a woman who was already struggling to make sense of her life in Los Angeles before shit got locked down. Over the course of their hour alone together, the audience member and Emma get to know one another intimately, discovering the misunderstandings and unexpected connections of a bad date. PRODUCTION TEAM Starring Lauren Flans, Haylee Nichele, and Heather Ann Gottlieb Directed and Written by Lauren Ludwig Producing and Dramaturgy by Monica Miklas Production Managed by Christina Bryan PRODUCTION HISTORY RED FLAGS originated IRL in 2017 and has been performed for hundreds of audience members (one at a time, of course) in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Denver.
