When a group of corporate consultants gather to brainstorm a project for an
unnamed client, it appears at first to be business as usual. But as the vast
scope of the project and its sinister details are uncovered, it becomes
apparent that the morally questionable problem they are tasked with solving may not be hypothetical – and could even be happening as they speak. Winner of the Will Glickman Award for Best New Play in the Bay Area (2013), Aaron Loeb’s gripping comic thriller “Ideation” is simultaneously hilarious and deeply disturbing.

As told by the New York News. "… is a tragedy in the classic form and I think it is a modern classic…the central character is a long-shoreman who, though his mind is limited and he cannot find words for his thoughts, is an admirable man… This is an intensely absorbing drama, sure of itself every step of the way. It makes no false moves, wastes no time and has the beauty that comes from directness and simplicity."

The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society is about to perform
‘The Murder at Haversham Manor.’ They’ve rehearsed their lines,
their costumes fit, the stage is set, the props are in place –
what can possibly go wrong? As it turns out, just about everything! But as disaster after disaster strikes on stage, the show must go on. The actors will be glad just to make it alive to the final curtain, but this hilarious award-winning farce will have you laughing long after the show is over.
