About SPAIN:
Step into a sophisticated, slippery world where the line between truth and fiction
is all in the packaging. It’s 1936, and a pair of passionate filmmakers have landed
their next big project: a sweeping Spanish Civil War film with the potential to change
American hearts and minds. It just happens to be bankrolled by the KGB. This seductive
and funny new play about the art of propaganda and the dangerous, ongoing Disinformation
Age explores how art can change the world – for better and worse.
SPAIN (SILVERMAN) is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of
Samuel French, Inc.

About Dick Doesn’t Live Here:
It’s Thanksgiving Day in Minnesota and, in keeping with the spirit of this American
holiday, a family is gathering to eat a lot of food and avoid some inconvenient truths.
Joan, the eldest daughter, has offered to host the family dinner this year. There’s
just one complication: her parents are unaware that Dick, Joan’s boyfriend, lives
in the house, as well. Together, Joan and her sister Jill conspire to get through
the holiday without spilling the beans; it’ll require a few little lies and some light
reorganizing at home. This lighthearted family comedy turns to farce as the costs
of domestic peace-keeping keep adding up.
DICK DOESN’T LIVE HERE is presented by special arrangement with Seth Kaltwasser.
