Paul Fleischman’s Zap is a clever play, built upon a unique conceit: what if audience members in a theater could “change channels” and switch back and forth between theatrical productions? This concept gives Fleischman free reign to toy with traditional theater conventions and provide a text composed entirely of satire and non-sequiturs. By reveling in its own irreverence, Zap becomes a play that brings new life to the dusty old traditions of the theater.
