JULY 2024
Written by Ryan Spahn
Developed by Michael Urie
Directed by Michael Herwitz
In the green room of a community theater in Rochester, the Uptown Players are getting ready to play to a full house after opening to rave reviews the night before. When their star actor arrives in a dangerously unhinged state, they must improvise on and off stage in ways they could not have imagined. By turns hilarious, harrowing, and horrifying, Inspired By True Events follows a tenacious group of show people who must determine at what cost the show must go on.
Inspired By True Events received development workshops with New York Stage & Film, The Vineyard Theatre and EST.
