In 2015, a study was conducted that proved that a simple goldfish has an attention span longer than the average human, which is just eight seconds. Can that actually be true? Ellie spends most of her waking hours fishing. Not for actual fish of course. She spends her time online, connecting with some of the scariest people on the internet, hoping to expose the real people behind the hate and misinformation they spread. Eight Seconds will make you think about how you see the world, the information you absorb and believe, and how we relate to each other as a result of those beliefs. Part exploration of the darkest side of humanity and part crime drama, the story will leave you asking, “What will I do with my eight seconds?” 

NOTE: This production contains adult language and situations and is intended for mature audiences.
