Greenhouse Theatre Festival: "Woke Wash"

This satirical new play shatters the facade of corporate caring. Susan and Jack Popper are a young couple struggling to make it in New York City. She is a groundbreaking sportswriter and he is an idealistic advertising executive. After Susan is assaulted and Jack is ridiculed for trying to progressively promote Pepsi, they hit rock bottom. Determined to succeed, they craft an insidious advertisement that is widely revered for its inspiration. By Matthew Ginsberg. At the annual Greenhouse Theatre Festival, four of the hottest emerging playwrights in the Bay Area -- students Just Dulea, Matt Ginsberg, Kristen La Follette and Lynn Mari -- present staged readings of their new work, unearthing questions for the 21st century. Made possible in part through the generosity of the Sam Mazza Foundation.
