For a long time, I read plays about Gen X’ers in their 20s avoiding adulthood. Angry, bitter and stuck in pre-Internet office jobs, seething with resentment. Then I read plays about millennials in their 20s avoiding adulthood. Entitled, pampered and attached to smartphones, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Then last October I read this play, Start Down. These characters in their 20s wore adulthood with grace: They care deeply about meaningful work; they live well and love well; they expect themselves to have both voice and impact on society writ large. Written with an insider’s knowledge and a love of San Francisco tech startup culture, Start Down finds drama and passion in software development, business development and education reform. At the same time, the play’s characters dramatize the tech belt’s promise of a class transcending multiracial meritocracy. Eleanor Burgess writes with a wry comic sensibility. Winners of the Alliance/Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition often go on to subsequent productions around the country. However, much like the technology at its center, Start Down is forward-thinking: It will have its second production in March at the Centenary Stage Company in New Jersey, an unusually quick turnaround even for an Alliance/Kendeda winner. It will also receive publication through Samuel French. Start Down is the play other theater communities will be discussing avidly next year, but you are seeing it first here in Atlanta. Enjoy!

Playwright Eleanor Burgess digs into divisive debate over technology and how we educate our kids By Julie Bookman
“I
f you don’t keep champagne in the fridge, then you don’t think you deserve to have anything good happen to you.” That’s just one handy real-life tip you’ll find in Eleanor Burgess’ comic drama Start Down, the 2016 winner

of the Alliance/Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition. Such lines provide a pleasant counterpoint to the bantering and bickering her “brogrammers” do while hatching their ambitious tech startup. Does Burgess buy into that advice?
“Totally,” she says. When she learned her play had been chosen from 72 submissions as this year’s winner of the Alliance/Kendeda competition, she went to her refrigerator and opened the bottle of bubbly waiting there. “I’m incredibly superstitious,” she says. “I am convinced that keeping champagne in the fridge helped. When I got the call from the Alliance, I had to drink that champagne and thank it.” The Kendeda prize brings with it a prodigious benefit for any up-and-coming playwright: The Alliance gives the winning script a full-scale production on the 200-seat Hertz Stage — not a workshop, not a staged reading — and helps the playwright make the transition from student to professional. It’s the only program of its kind in American regional theater. Burgess, 31, is a “writer to watch, and the Alliance is lucky to be working with her at the beginning of a terrific career,” says Celise Kalke, the Alliance’s director of new projects. Kalke has been involved in the shaping of Start Down for the past year. The process included a reading as part of the Alliance’s Institute for Educators in June, and more work at the M.F.A. Playwrights Workshop at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Kalke praises Burgess for having the guts to dive into a divisive issue: how we live, how we educate our children and our core values around technology. If you don’t have a child in the public school system, you likely don’t know what’s happening in classrooms, Burgess says. “I want the play to be
saying, ‘Hey, change is happening, let’s look at what’s going on and let’s combine the best of what tech has to offer and the best of what teachers have to offer.’ ” More comedy than drama, Start Down brings to life the culture and roller-coaster process of tech startups with style and wit, Kalke says, and without bogging down in detailing logistics. For Burgess, it’s been quite a journey. She’s had to delve into the myriad issues of the education-tech controversy and discover the nuances of the play. “With this big topic, you’re also talking about class and gender and race and humor and personality. So exploring all those nooks and crannies has taken a while.” But she knows the territory. Her husband is co-founder of a startup called HireArt, an online recruiting platform. She herself has a day job as the website manager for a nonprofit foundation in Manhattan. Start Down features two couples, four players impacted by the the startup of an ed-tech platform called “Personal Classroom.” In each couple, the woman is an overworked teacher. Burgess knows that turf, too. She majored in history at Yale College and taught high school before earning her M.F.A. in dramatic writing at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. The idea for Start Down began to ping for Burgess, who has written three other fulllength plays, when her husband was working on HireArt in Mountain View, Calif., in the Silicon Valley-land of startups. She became fascinated with the way tech people

dialogue in general. I’m someone who does a lot of talking; it’s very natural and it’s what drew me to writing plays. I’m not one of those playwrights who could also write novels. “I’m so interested in what people say — and what they don’t say. And how they speak to each other and what exactly it sounds like when someone’s excited, or uncomfortable. “I love how different people talk in their own unique ways. I mean I really love exploring where a conversation takes off, where it sputters.” Is Start Down a cautionary tale? “I hope that the play is a question-raising tale,” she says, adding that it was important to her to be fair to both sides of the issue. “I never wanted to write a dystopian let’s-be-afraid-oftechnology play because that would be an oversimplification. I mean, we all spend too much time on our phones, so there must be something we do love about it!” A

talk to one another. “They are some of biggest optimists in the world,” Burgess says. “They really believe that there’s a solution to so many human problems and that things can get better and that they will be the ones who make them better.” She was also struck by their energy. “It’s really something, to be around a whole city full of people who want to change the world and who also want to get rich and who don’t necessarily think that there’s a conflict between wanting to save the world and wanting to get rich.” Start Down’s dialogue may make playgoers feel as if they’re in the room where the ed-tech debates happen. “For me, the dialogue is the most natural part,” Burgess says. “When I am being really facetious and jokey, I sort of refer to that Malcom Gladwell idea of 10,000 hours,” that it takes roughly that long to become a master in any field. “I love conversation and

discover us. discover you. discover us. discover you. In Start Down I discovered a story that shows the real issues of entrepreneurs. It’s an intensely emotional experience to found a company – and more so if you are working to disrupt an industry. The media talks about it on the company side, but this play shows you the personal side as well. Being the founder is full of conflict and really not so glamorous. You lose things and people along the way. You see who you really are. It’s hard to describe what entrepreneurs do; it’s different for each one in that the project or business is different, but the part that is the same — the conflict, the self-awareness and how it’s acquired in the process. It’s brutal work, but we love it. Michelle Morgan Founder of Hub Atlanta

synopsis
Will believes he has a bright future in software development once he breaks away from Facebook for Pets. But until he listens to his girlfriend, Sandy, and her best friend, Karen (both teachers), debate issues around class size and teacher capacity one night at dinner, he lacks THE idea. That night, he envisions a program that tests and teaches individual students at their own level. As the program evolves and begins a testing phase, Sandy goes from being an early adopter to a skeptic. Eventually, clashing values test their relationship.

about the alliance theatre The Alliance Theatre is Atlanta’s national theater, expanding hearts and minds on stage and off. Founded in 1968, the Alliance Theatre is the leading producing theater in the Southeast, reaching more than 165,000 patrons annually. The Alliance delivers powerful programming that challenges adult and youth audiences to think critically and care deeply. Under the leadership of Susan V. Booth, Jennings Hertz Artistic Director, the Alliance Theatre received the Regional Theatre Tony Award® in recognition of sustained excellence in programming, education, and community engagement. Known for its high artistic standards and national role in creating significant theatrical works, the Alliance has premiered more than 95 original productions including Tony Award® winners The Color Purple by Alice Walker, Aida by Elton John and Tim Rice, and Alfred Uhry’s The Last Night of Ballyhoo. The Alliance has developed and premiered important American musicals with a strong track record of Broadway, touring, and subsequent productions, including the world premieres of Sister Act: The Musical, Twyla Tharp’s Come Fly Away, Bring It On: The Musical, Stephen King and John Mellencamp’s Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, Harmony – A New Musical by Barry Manilow and Bruce Sussman, and most recently the world premiere of the new musical Tuck Everlasting. The Alliance also creates and nurtures the careers of artists through the Alliance/Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition, producing the world premiere for the competition winner as part of the regular season, and the Reiser Atlanta Artists Lab, providing developmental support and production resources for three performing arts projects each year. The Alliance’s dedication to providing access to the arts is reflected in its commitment to creating new work for all ages, and to bringing that work into classrooms and communities across Atlanta and throughout the region. More than 50,000 students each year experience age-specific professional performances and participate in acting classes, drama camps, and in-school initiatives through the Alliance Theatre Acting Program and Education Department. The Alliance’s groundbreaking Kathy and Ken Bernhardt Theatre for the Very Young performances offer professionally-produced, fully interactive theater for infants and toddlers; the Palefsky Collision Project invites high school artists to create and perform new civic-minded theater based on a classic text; and community acting classes and skill-building workshops engage professional artists, young actors, business leaders, and curious learners of all ages. Twice recognized by the U.S. Department of Education for leadership in arts education, the Alliance Arts for Learning Institute equips classroom teachers with theatrical techniques that link directly to school curriculum and have been empirically proven to improve student learning. These programs include Georgia Wolf Trap Early Learning Through the Arts and Dramaturgy K–12, in which students create research material that informs Alliance productions and prepares peer audiences. The work produced by the Alliance allows locally based artists the chance to create on a nationally watched stage, building and sustaining Atlanta’s artistic community. The vision of the Alliance Theatre is to be a beacon of leadership for the national field, while remaining deeply rooted in and reflective of our local Atlanta community. MISSION Atlanta’s national theater, expanding hearts and minds on stage and off. VISION The Alliance will lead the national field by deeply engaging with its local community, modeling radical inclusion and catalytic experiences on our stages, in our classrooms, and throughout Atlanta. alliancetheatre.org or 404.733.4650
