Production of "Network" Seeks Performers
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Seeking performers for production of "Network". See the details below. About the play: Howard Beale, a veteran news anchor who, after being fired for low ratings, has a public breakdown on live television. His angry, ranting broadcast unexpectedly becomes a huge ratings success, transforming him into a populist prophet and the network into a ratings powerhouse. The formidable Diana and her team of producers foresee the future and intend to seize power-at any cost. The play satirizes the corrupting influence of media conglomerates, where profit margins dictate content and the lines between news and entertainment blur. The satirical 1976 film by Paddy Chayefsky dominated the Academy Awards and was a prophetic masterpiece. Nearly 50 years later, this new, acclaimed stage adaptation remains a potent and provocative work of art as the world grapples with truth, authenticity, and the search for meaning in a digital age.
