Live on the Stanley Subaru stage at The Grand in Ellsworth on Friday June 3 at 7:30 pm, Saturday June 4 at 4:00 pm & 8:00 pm and Sunday June 5 at 4:00 pm, an exciting new play from Aaron Sorkin, the Emmy™-winning creator of The West Wing and the Oscar™-winning writer of The Social Network, A Few Good Men, and Steve Jobs entitled The Farnsworth Invention. It’s 1929. Two ambitious visionaries race against each other to invent a device called “television.” Separated by two thousand miles, each knows that if he stops working, even for a moment, the other will gain the edge. Who will unlock the key to the greatest innovation of the 20th century: the ruthless media mogul, or the self-taught Idaho farm boy? The answer comes to compelling life in The Farnsworth Invention, the hit new play from Aaron Sorkin. The production has a cast of 25 local actors and is directed by Robin Jones, with multimedia design by Garret Harris, production management from Kimberly Fitch and a three-story set designed by Peter Miller.
