Heidi Bishop, a wide-eyed dramaturgy intern, is eager to better American drama. However, she encounters an endless stream of bad scripts by desperate playwrights and an office filled with cynicism and turf battles led by her bitterly hilarious boss Jim Foley. When Heidi’s efforts to improve things run into unintended consequences, she is forced to confront idealism with reality to save her career, reputation and relationships.

This show contains adult language and is appropriate for those 17 and older, with parental guidance suggested.

The performance on Sunday, Jan. 12 will include a Question & Answer session with the cast, director and author of Blame it on Beckett, John Morogiello.
