BACKGROUND

Speed Dating in Monsterburgh is an interactive, choose-your-own-adventure, dating sim reflecting on the interconnected queer world of dating in Pittsburgh.

This was performed as a live theater experience in May 2026. Olivia Cunnally performed as a live-action monster host prompting the audience’s cheers and noise to determine the paths of the dating sim.

All interviews were filmed on mini dv. No AI was used in the making of this project.
