Finance and Comedy Merge in Sarah Burgess' Dry Powder

Can money be funny? Playwright Sarah Burgess seems to think so. Her latest play uses satire to explore the inner workings of a high-flying New York finance company, with jargon included.

The story focuses on Rick, the president of a finance firm who throws a luxurious and celebratory party for himself after laying off many of his employees - bad PR alert!

After this disaster, Rick and his team have to come together to figure out how they're going to clear the company's name. The play sheds an intimate light on those who have power over America's economy.
