PTC Presents FIND AND SIGN World Premiere, 1/13-28
By: Kelsey Denette
Pioneer Theatre Company presents the next production in the New Plays Initiative, the world premiere of Find and Sign by Wendy MacLeod.
Set in the New York City music industry (with a slight nod to Othello), Find and Sign takes us through the bumpy romance between an on-the-rise young record executive and an idealistic public school teacher. One of the country’s most noted young playwrights, Wendy MacLeod has written a funny, touching and compelling romance for our time.
Find and Sign contains strong language and themes.
MacLeod’s play The House of Yes became an award-winning Miramax film starring Parker Posey, earning a Special Jury Award at Sundance. Juvenilia premiered at Playwrights Horizons, as did The Water Children, which was cited as the most challenging political play of 1998 by L.A. Weekly and earned six L.A. Drama Critics Circle nominations. Things Being What They Are premiered at Seattle Rep and performed at Steppenwolf in Chicago. Her plays Sin and Schoolgirl Figure both premiered at The Goodman in Chicago, and Anvil Entertainment has optioned Schoolgirl Figure for film. A New Dramatist alumna and a graduate of the Yale School of Drama, she is the James E. Michael playwright-in-residence at Kenyon College, and has been a guest professor at Northwestern University’s film and theater departments.
