                This biting comedy takes a behind-the-scenes 
                    look at the writing of a television sitcom as a young woman 
                    gets the job as a co-writer amidst a sea of hungry men eager 
                    to rip her to shreds. Not suprisingly, her television world 
                    soon descends into a ferocious madness.  
                   Theresa Rebeck is one of America’s premiere playwrights. 
                    Her plays include “Omnium Gatherum,” “Bad 
                    Dates,” “The Butterfly Collection,” “Loose 
                    Knit,” “Sunday on the Rocks,” and others.

                    of Louisville, Alice’s Fourth Floor, the Westbank, Manhattan 
                    Punchline and Double Image Theatre. A collection of her short 
                    plays, entitled Rebeck Revisited, ran for nine months at Theatre 
                    Neo in L.A. and was called one of the Ten Best Plays of 1999 
                    by L.A. Weekly. Her collected plays have been published by 
                    Smith & Kraus. Film/television credits include “Law 
                    & Order: Criminal Intent,” “Harriet the Spy,” 
                    “Brooklyn Bridge,” “Dream On,” and
