(For production by Professional Groups, College/University Groups, Community Groups, LDS & Other Church Groups)
Pull out a microscope, put any LDS singles-over-30 group on the glass slide, and take a peek. You will most likely find the same characters there as you do in this production. At first glance they may look like a bunch of misfits chumming together, but then you realize you know them and, in fact, could be one of them. “The Way We’re Wired” presents a painfully funny view on the varieties of LDS singles and how they function — almost as a counter-culture. As is stated early in the show, “to be an LDS single over 30, you’ve either never married, you’re widowed or divorced. In other words, you’re a loser, a pity-case, or a failure. Wired is very much a journey of discovery. It concerns itself with the power and efficacy of change. Of how much control we have in our own life and why we are where we are and what we can do about it. WINNER of the 1999 Association for Mormon Letters Drama Award.
