FAB Sponsored Program: New City Players Presents: Burst
A Southeastern Premiere!
Directed by Elizabeth Price
This funny and piercing play takes place over one 90 minute period as the CEO of the tech company Tactix (whose goal is to eliminate plastic from the earth), dukes it out with a particularly tough reporter and her waffling CTO. Confronting topics like corporate responsibility, climate change, and women in tech, this play puts a crosshairs on some of our most important contemporary cultural conversations.
