A New Play by Jonathan Spector. Directed by Jon Tracy. Associate Director Kimberly Ridgeway.
City Repertory Theater company launches a search for a new artistic director. Who is the best available candidate? Rising star and hometown hero Jonathan Spector interviewed dozens of theater makers to create this satirical tale. Some subjects are much too serious to be dramas.
"Spector proves as much a master of pathos as of comedy."
- The Guardian
