Furniture Porn

In 2006, Yale business grad Aleksey Vaynor submitted his video resume to the banking world with hopes of employment. Titled "Impossible Is Nothing," the video resume contains footage of him skiing, playing tennis, and using hollow corporate cliches in an attempt to impress the viewer. Unfortunately, his video leaked online and went viral, spawning years of relentless mockery and parodies. In January of this year, he killed himself in Queens.

Has the Internet changed the way we communicate with each other? Do we treat each other differently hiding behind a username? Furniture Porn is a mixed-media, absurdest play that explores these questions but never gives a definitive answer, as our relationship with the web is changing everyday. From the early days of AOL Instant Messenger, up to the current NSA surveillance state, we use web-culture and the personal lives of the cast to create a frenetic new play about this strange new world, both online and off.
