The auditorium will be “totally transformed” to reflect the local skatepark, which was originally built in 1992 and closed in 2004 because it was deemed to be unprofitable.
It then re-opened in 2012.
The cast will be joined by a community chorus, the “internet ensemble”, representing the online world on stage and made up of 25 third-year drama students from the University of Northampton.
Jones added: “It brings me so much pride to be platforming urgent new writing on our largest stage, transforming our Derngate auditorium into Northampton’s Radlands Plaza skatepark.
“It is provocative and painfully funny, bringing the addictive and dark world of social media shorts and reels onto the stage.”
A workshop set up alongside the play will create 360 pieces of street art.
Top G’s Like Me, by Samson Hawkins, runs from 23 February to 7 March.
