Frank Truman has a masters in philosophy from NYU, lives at home, and boasts “barista of the month” as his greatest professional achievement. His attempts to climb the corporate ladder are thwarted when potential employers do an Internet search: his name has been co-opted by the cantankerous retiree Joseph Silverman, author of a controversial blog. When Frank tracks down Silverman and begs him to adopt another nom de screen , the old man offers a different kind of help: a job interview at a mysterious company. It’s then we see how far an ambitious young man will go to land a job he knows nothing about.

HAL BORDEN earned a master’s degree in Screenwriting from the UCLA School of Theater, Film & Television, where he won the Hal Kanter Comedy Writing Award. A Position of Relative Importance shared first prize at the 2013 FutureFest Festival of New Plays in Dayton, won top honors at Penobscot Theatre’s Northern Writes Festival, and was a finalist in new play contests at Abingdon Theater (NYC), Bloomington Playwrights Project (IN), and Tangent Theatre Tivoli (NY), among other honors. Borden, the proud father of two dachshunds, writes – and practices trademark law – in Philadelphia. He will attend the Sunday performance.
