A comedy. A thriller. A hoax ... while George Kaplan (the character) is the fictional spy in Hitchcock's 'North by Northwest,' George Kaplan (the play) is a hilarious and dizzying look into the way fiction interacts with political narrative and identity.

George Kaplan was first produced in the English language by the Cherry Artists' Collective in Ithaca, NY with Artistic Director Samuel Buggeln.

The Bridge Production Group is a nonprofit theatre company committed to dismantling and rebuilding an audience's expectations of theatrical storytelling. In producing both new and revived works, we seek to disrupt traditional conventions and assumptions about how stories are told in the theatrical medium by restructuring and reimagining classic text, utilizing and highlighting design as a core narrative component, and blurring genre and tone. Injecting the familiar with spontaneity and vitality, our mission is to create theatre that is immediate and resonant with young and diverse audiences; we invite less traditional theatergoing audiences into our shared spaces, aiming to awaken an enhanced appreciation for the medium.
