The Spin

~ "My favorite online production since theaters began shuttering last March" - Tony Frankel, Stage & Cinema

~ "Wickedly satirical... a prima-facie example of off-Loop formative invention. As immersive as a pandemic show ever could hope to be..." - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

September 2020. Politics are at a boiling point, COVID is rampant and Zoom calls are still the absolute worst. When the Public Works Director of a major city confesses to a horrible crime, a team of spin doctors are brought in at the last possible second to pull off a tough assignment: prepare the Mayor’s top aide for a crucial news interview, distance City Hall from the controversy and point the public’s attention elsewhere. And do it all entirely over video-conferencing. At a time when live theatre is at a standstill, THE SPIN is a brand-new dark comedy written and produced entirely for the virtual medium.
