Playing @
Sitnik Theatre/Lackland Performing Arts Center.
715 Grand Ave., Hackettstown, NJ 07840
A smart and funny look at work, love, and get-rich-quick tech start-ups.

Winner of the Susan Glaspell Award and the Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competetion, Start Down is a funny and startling glimpse into the world of technology, education and its potential (or consequences) for educators and students alike.  

Influenced by his girlfriend's teaching career and driven to produce a cutting-edge product, a San Francisco software developer Will, creates a program which will change the face of teaching forever. It's a brilliantly profitable idea until it threatens some deeply held core values and ultimately his own relationship.
