About the Show

This world premiere from Pigeonholed Theater is a play about what we choose to remember, what we refuse to see, and what it means to be real in the Facebook age.

Lottie has always been that all-star student who’s everyone best friend. Fresh out of college, she’s determined to change the world and make a difference. But when she dies at her internship in Afghanistan, the internet threatens to tear memory apart. As fangirls, rubberneckers, pseudo-friends, trolls, and her own social media fuel the digital storm, Lottie's friends will struggle over how and who gets to tell her story, and what her legacy should be.

Critic Reviews (1)

"Ms. Daly’s poignant premise has potential and her well drawn characters are appealing but a preoccupation with stylistic techniques undermines the play’s effectiveness. The nonlinear structure, repetitiousness and vagueness are wearying...'#yourmemorial' contains a number of moving and haunting sequences that are embedded in its arguably strained format."
