Crisis Hotline
The Show was premiered via Zoom on 26 March 2022 for our American audience and on 27 March 2022 for the Indian audience
A not so dark comedy that starts with a call for help. Crisis Hotline explores and celebrates the universal need we all have for connection. Given the ordeal of the last two pandemic years, the need for connection and overcoming isolation is stronger than ever. Connection is often the feeling of a shared experience and this comes across loud and clear in Dan Borengasser’s feel good comedy about connection.
