This is the post-workshop staged reading of the chosen script from the 2009 New Play Festival. "The Sinker" will be produced as a world premiere in the 2010 Mainstage Series. Be a part of the post-show discussion with the dramaturg and the playwright and have your feedback help the author edit the play into its published form. It's a comfortable, very casual way to meet the playwright, artists, and HotCity staff working on this production.

About the Show:

Josh is an attractive and charming fledgling novelist who's just signed a deal to publish his first novel. George, his childhood friend, and Liz, his literary agent and old college friend "with benefits" both love Josh. Love him. George and Liz are tested when Candi, Josh's sexy and ambitious writing student, and a mysterious gun are discovered in George's apartment. When Liz finds a fully edited copy of Josh's manuscript in Candi's possession, both she and George hold Candi hostage throughout the morning. Dark truths are revealed, worlds are turned upside down, and eventually the trigger is pulled.
