The New York Times: "INCREDIBLY ENGAGING… all compelling threads, drawn intelligently from modern American legends — there is more than a little of Paddy Chayefsky’s Network here. Shows Bossert as a keen observer of the origins of our current media landscape."
After scoring a hit last season with the Disney union strike drama Burbank (called “smart and entertaining” by Laura Collins Hughes of The New York Times), Thirdwing, will present the World Premiere of TELEVISION by Cameron Darwin Bossert beginning previews April 6 at the wild project. Opening night is set for Wednesday, April 12. Thirdwing is an innovative new hybrid theater company that has been presenting bold new works both live and streaming under a subscription model (like Hulu or Netflix) since January 2020.
TELEVISION is about a small-town TV station in 1959 that loses its CBS affiliation and has to rely on one talented local family to fill the airwaves. It explores how mass media has always connected and separated us, sometimes in equal measure.
TELEVISION stars Aprella Godfrey Barule, Cian Genaro, Arash Mokhtar, Mary Monahan, Wesli Spencer, Dikran Tulaine, and Bobby Underwood. Directed by Cameron Darwin Bossert, the production features costumes by Yolanda Balaña and music composed by Deeba Montazeri. Lauren Arneson is stage manager.
