Exclusive Interview: Fletcher Michael of 'Did You Charge Your Phone For The End Of The World?'

It's not every day we get to speak with someone who not only wrote and directed a show but is also one of the stars, but that changed when Fletcher Michael signed on to Riverside to chat with us about their current production, Did You Charge Your Phone For the End of the World?. Presented by the Infinite Monkey Theater Company, Did You Charge Your Phone For the End of the World? made its premiere at the 2026 New York City Fringe Festival, and Michael joined us to talk about what it's like to finally present this show to the world! In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Michael discusses where the inspiration for Did You Charge Your Phone For the End of the World? and what their process for writing a script such as this one is. Leaning into the absurdity, this play explores the end of the world with a blend of existentialism and plenty of satire! Michael also discusses their personal journey into the arts, which may not be your typical journey!
