Start Down
"...one of the finest Kendeda winners I've ever seen...Start Down asks more questions than it answers, and that's a good thing." —Manning Harris for Atlanta INtown
"[Playwright Eleanor] Burgess is a fine writer...[Start Down is an] engaging, intelligent play." —Andrew Alexander for ArtsATL.com
Winner of the 2016 Alliance/Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition
Inspired by his girlfriend’s high school teaching career and eager to create a cutting-edge product, software developer Will forms a company dedicated to making online tutorials tailored to individual student needs. It’s a brilliant idea until the program threatens some deeply held beliefs about the student/teacher relationship.
A smart and funny look at work, love, and get-rich-quick tech start-ups.
This award-winning play questions the way we live, the way we educate our children, and our core values around technology.
