  • Summary

  • From Beatlemania to the Swifties, the parasocial relationship is a tale as old as time. And in the age of social media (not to mention global pandemics forcing us apart), it's easier than ever to establish a one-sided connection with someone you've never met before. This show is about the joys and terrors of dedicating part of one's self to fandom, hosted by your fave former fangirl.
