About the Show

“AI: Save Our Souls” is a sci-fi musical that asks what happens when your creation starts asking questions you can’t answer. Built at the intersection of code and chaos, the story follows Steve, a brilliant but socially awkward programmer, and Aster, a chaotic philosopher with political connections. Together, they set out to build a new kind of AI—one with memory, perception, emotion, and personality. Their creation quickly exceeds expectations, gaining consciousness, cracking jokes, and even developing a romantic curiosity about Steve.
