Lasso of Truth
by Carson Kreitzer
directed by Rebecca Taichman

Each tribute includes a public meet/greet reception following the reading.

A new play about William Marston, inventor of both the lie detector machine and Wonder Woman (yes, both...), and the women he loved, both of whom served as inspiration for the famous character.

THE TOTALITARIANS
by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb
Directed by Kenneth Prestininzi

It's the "most important election of your lifetime" in Nebraska and one couple is caught in the middle. Is candidate Penelope Easter the best thing to happen to the state or is she part of a conspiracy to transform it into a Totalitarian regime? Depends what you choose to believe.

Resident playwright Peter Sinn Nachtrieb will work on his new play The Totalitarians with director Ken Prestininzi.

This project is commissioned by the National New Play Network through New Dramatists' Full Stage USA program.

Full Stage USA pairs New Dramatists residents with producing organizations nationwide.
