About the Play:
It is 2010 in New York City, at the height of the recession. At Carthage Financial, the members of the IT Department have to come to terms with the new reality of cutbacks, policy changes and the shifting sands of corporate double-speak and hidden agendas, as they all struggle to grapple with jobs that appear to have no meaning, and interpersonal relationships that probably have never existed. Strange goings on in the universe at large push them into a strange new land of myth, magic and the struggle to simply survive.
Joanne Hoersch is a recipient of a 2012 grant from the NJ State Council on the Arts for her first play, Jackson is Gone, which was also selected for a roundtable reading at the Lark Theatre. Prior to becoming a playwright, she was a fiction writer. She received a Woolrich fellowship for fiction from Columbia University, was a semi-finalist in the Heekin Foundation's national short story contest, and was a 1998 grantee from the NJ State Council on the Arts for her short story, "Josie Going Places." She is currently working on a new play about the Romantic poet Percy Shelley. Joanne is honored to be participating in HTW's PlayWorks series.
