WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Playwrights Gina Gionfriddo, Elizabeth Meriwether, Adam Rapp, Judith Thompson, and Mark Schultz participate in the stageFARM's world premiere series of new short plays, Spin.
These short commissioned works examine the idea of "spin," looking at the media, industry, politics, and the arts. Alex Kilgore will direct, along with a special guest director to be announced at a later date.
