Want to buy a couch? Find a date? Complain about your roommate? Your boss? Your sketchy neighbor that sleeps in his doghouse? Kidnapped by Craigslist is a unique new comedy that explores the carnivalesque, cult-like phenomenon that is Craigslist. Combining actual postings from the Austin website with scripted material, the show tells the true stories locked inside an online community that has shaped and inspired today's internet generation.

Adapted exclusively for Shrewd Productions and the Austin stage, KIDNAPPED BY CRAIGSLIST had a successful 2007 New York City engagement at the acclaimed People's Improv Theater. Directed by Shrewd company member, Jason Hays, KIDNAPPED BY CRAIGSLIST features an outstanding ensemble cast including: Lynn Burnor, Brock England , Nitra Gutierrez, Chris Humphrey, Pierce Purselley, Bryan Schneider and Andrew Varenhorst. Critically acclaimed lighting designer Natalie George and award-winning sound and video designer, K. Eliot Haynes bring the fascinating, fun-house world of KIDNAPPED BY CRAIGSLIST to life .
