It’s 1929. Two ambitious visionaries race against each other to invent a device called “television.” Separated by two thousand miles, each knows that if he stops working, even for a moment, the other will gain the edge. Who will unlock the key to the greatest innovation of the 20th century: the ruthless media mogul or the self-taught Idaho farm boy?

“The most exciting new play on Broadway... a rousing theatrical experience.” – MTV News

"a firecracker of a play in a fittingly snap, crackle and pop production … the drama has among its many virtues the ability to make you think at the same time that it breaks your heart." – Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times

"vintage Sorkin and crackling prime-time theater . . . breezy and shrewd, smart-alecky and idealistic.” – Linda Winer, Newsday



Are you itching to get on stage? Do you have a flair for the dramatic?

Well, we're excited to offer the first of our 2025 Youth Acting Workshops on Saturday, February 1st!

There are two sections for different age groups. The six to twelve year olds will meet from 9am- noon. Then, the thirteen to eighteen year olds will meet from 1p- 4p. Students will learn the basics of acting, using emotion, physicality, and character work to develop skills for auditioning and acting for the stage.

 Make sure to sign up for the correct time slot, and come "play" with us!

Do you dream of being an improv superstar?

Does the word “improvisation” make you nervous and uneasy? Have you tried to improvise before and felt unsuccessful? Then this workshop is for you!

Our “Yes! And...?” workshop is designed to teach you the basic techniques of improvisation through short form sketch work and games. Come play with us and learn skills to make you a better actor, quicker thinker, and all-around nicer human being!



Classes will be held at the Cloverdale Playhouse on five consecutive Tuesday nights -- Mar 11th, Mar 18th, Mar 25th, Apr 1st, and Apr 8th, in the evening from 6pm-8pm.
