‘Find and Sign’ opening at PTC

Pioneer Theatre Company presents the next production in the New Plays Initiative, the world premiere of “Find and Sign” by Wendy MacLeod. It runs through Jan. 28 at the Simmons Pioneer Memorial Theatre, 300 South 1400 East in Salt Lake City.

Set in the New York City music industry (with a slight nod to Othello), “Find and Sign” takes us through the bumpy romance between an on-the-rise young record executive and an idealistic public school teacher. One of the country’s most noted young playwrights, MacLeod has written a funny, touching and compelling romance for our time. It contains strong language and themes.

MacLeod’s play “The House of Yes” became an award-winning Miramax film starring Parker Posey, earning a Special Jury Award at Sundance. Her plays “Sin” and “Schoolgirl Figure” both premiered at The Goodman in Chicago, and Anvil Entertainment has optioned “Schoolgirl Figure” for film. A New Dramatist alumna and a graduate of the Yale School of Drama, she is the James E. Michael playwright-in-residence at Kenyon College, and has been a guest professor at Northwestern University’s film and theater departments.

Show times are Mon.-Thurs., 7:30 p.m.; Fri.-Sat. 8 p.m., with 2 p.m. Saturday matinees. Ticket information is available at www.pioneertheatre.org.
