I’m The Real One

Celebrating their tenth season, The Bards Theatre Troupe presents a bold, queer-centric exploration of artificial intelligence and its impact on modern life. Through a dynamic mix of scenes, songs, and playful theatrical elements, this original production examines how AI is reshaping identity, creativity, communication, and human connection—through an unapologetically LGBT+ lens.

Blending humor, insight, and community-driven storytelling, the show dives into both the cultural and emotional implications of emerging technology, highlighting how queer voices navigate a rapidly evolving digital world. From questions of authenticity in art to shifting relationships in an AI-driven society, this performance offers a thought-provoking and entertaining take on one of today’s most talked-about topics.

Part of 2026 Philly Theatre Week, this accessible, pay-what-you-can production invites audiences to experience innovative queer theatre that is entirely human-made.
