Taking place at a time when the tech industry's mergers, acquisitions and IPOs are contributing to a boom or bust environment, LIFE LIST portrays a business market in FREE-FALL! Its silver-spoon investors clash with entrepreneurs leading a start-up company worth millions, as they wield sarcasm, sharpened pens and other weapons of financial destruction. Alliances are forged as broken promises threaten fragile relationships between the executives, board members, and employees. The characters' struggles for ascendency, a moral high ground and at times, their very survival, create humorous byplay and dynamic action with unexpected twists and turns.

Working Theater (Mark Plesent, Producing Artistic Director) will present the World Premiere of Adam Kraar's Alternating Currents, directed by Kareem Fahmy (James Scruggs's 3/Fifths at 3LD) as part of their Five Boroughs/One City Initiative with performances in Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, Staten Island, and Brooklyn, April 26-May 26.
