Thespis Thinks looks at the the world of theater-makers and the relationships that evolve and sometimes simmer in the theater soup. When two small California theater companies vie for the same arts foundation grant, Board members and production staffs go on the offensive. Fingers start to point, betrayals brew, and a smear-merchant subverts the narrative to the Foundation and what ensues is a hilarious cavalcade of shenanigans. Newly-appointed Artistic Director, widower and Georgia transplant Davis Cotton, a risk-taker who is struggling to transform this traditional theater company, fights back with southern charm and savvy. His associate, Hillary Hampshire, who is so entrenched in the theater life that she has left herself no room for experiencing love, begins to see life differently, as Davis plucks her heartstrings, one string at a time. But is the song he’s playing real? The narrator of this contemporary theater chaos is pundit, play-by-play color commentator and ancient Greek actor, Thespis of Icaria.
