Best Available

by Jonathan Spector

We're not going to talk about the sudden departure of our previous Artistic Director, because we want to focus on the future, not the past. The one thing we're all on the same page about it is: We Need Change. Change that builds on the remarkable legacy of our institution.

It's just like the Ancient Blessing, May You Live In Interesting Times.

    Hilarious, insightful, powerful, well-paced, and deeply sad. You'd be hard-pressed to find a local theatre in the United States that would not relate to this piece and benefit from the conversations it will spark.

    Exquisitely crafted and profoundly depressing, Best Available is filled with moments in which I found myself simultaneously laughing and cringing. It offers a harrowing yet supremely engaging tour of the failure to make any meaningful changes in the way a theatre is managed. Whether entertaining or horrifying, every word rings true.

    Fast-paced and unapologetic, this play is a scathing indictment of the pressures and pitfalls of contemporary theatre - and will make you laugh out loud even as you wince, recognizing something deeply familiar in every character and every moment.
