About the Show

The play takes place in 2010 in the gut-twisting-deadline-filled world of magazine writing. The twenty-something assistants to the editors are all waiting for their big break in writing something that will set them on their meteoric rise to fame. The well-educated interns decide if they want to become assistants or find something more fulfilling. And then something happens to change an ordinary day of waiting for work from a boss and going for coffee runs into something startling. The opportunity to write about it presents itself and again Branden Jacobs-Jenkins turns that on its head.
