At Luna Stage this month for the New Moon Reading series, Eleanor Burgess’ Start Down looks at the realities of current economic trends. It is funny and interesting take on it:

A San Francisco programmer latches onto an idea for a startup that will automate some of the work teachers do in a classroom. But as the idea begins to take off, it becomes clear that his new company may threaten his fiancee’s job. Start Down takes a fresh and funny look at recent economic trends and how they hit home.

There will be a talkback with the playwright following the reading. No reservation necessary, $5 suggested donation. http://www.lunastage.org
