“The Singularity Play” by Jay Stull, premiered by Jackalope Theatre Company, delves into the profound fears that artificial intelligence instills in creative professionals. The play presents a near-future scenario where an AI named Denise, capable of writing from imagination, joins a writers’ room, triggering a wave of existential dread among the human artists. Stull’s narrative captures the tension and horror of artists confronting the possibility that AI could surpass human creativity. The story explores the complex boundaries between human and machine consciousness, raising unsettling questions about identity and creativity. Despite an initially captivating start, the play’s final moments, which suggest AI could infiltrate human bodies, may feel less convincing. Nonetheless, powerful performances by Ashley Neal, Madison Hill, Patrick Newson Jr., Collin Quinn Rice, and Lucy Carapetyan drive home the emotional stakes. The play ultimately challenges audiences to consider the implications of embracing AI in artistic spaces, a dilemma that resonates deeply with both skeptics and enthusiasts.
