MY FAVORITE SOCIOPATH Will Come to the Contemporary American Theater Festival
Performances will run July 11 – August 2.
My Favorite Sociopath by Aurin Squire will make its world premiere at the Contemporary American Theater Festival. Directed By Celine Rosenthal, performances will run July 11 – August 2.
“What good is shame in a shameless world?” In this razor-sharp comedy set at the dawning of the 24-hour news cycle era, three ambitious journalism students bond over telling stories and their friendship spirals into a dangerous game of ambition, seduction, and betrayal. As they race to launch their careers, the line between reporting and manipulation dissolves, revealing the sociopathy embedded in the media—and in human desire itself.
The newest work from award-winning playwright, reporter, and multimedia artist Aurin Squire, My Favorite Sociopath dissects how we justify deceit in the name of truth, and what happens when the story we’re writing is our own undoing.
The cast includes Kennedy Kanagawa as Evan, Brooke Turner as Gina, and Nick Saxton as Miles.
