Authenticity: The Live Performance

The filmed 2023 production of "Authenticity" follows Aurora, an insta-famous girl who wants a real friend, but can't because of the repressive influence of social media. In order to be her true self, she creates a fake profile and chats Hudson, an overly emotional kid whom she bullies for being so sensitive. As she gets closer to him, she combats both Hudson and her vulnerable side. As people start to discover Aurora's secret, she soon has to choose between her reputation and Hudson.
