​What started as an invitation to inspire young creatives has grown into an immersive, experiential event for area middle schoolers. Emerging artists write, produce, design, and perform their own work in one-act plays. These kids get a chance to flex their creative muscles as well as inspire our patterns through their work told through their voices.

​Lucas Brickman is the new kid in a writers room that’s less “collaborative workspace” and more “intellectual bar fight.” It’s 1953, and The Max Prince Show is one of the hottest variety shows on TV—if you define “hot” as “held together by caffeine, nicotine, and sheer panic.”As Cold War paranoia fuels McCarthy-era blacklists, network executives slash budgets in pursuit of sanitized entertainment, and the mercurial host spirals into substance-fueled unpredictability, Lucas must prove his worth in a room full of eccentric, brilliant, and deeply flawed colleagues. Lucas just wants to write jokes. Instead, he’s dodging verbal grenades from a hypochondriac, a Russian perfectionist, a guy who may or may not have sold a screenplay to his own ego, and a woman who’s outnumbered but never outgunned. It’s chaos, it’s brilliant, and it’s barely legal. Welcome to comedy in the Cold War.
