Joanne Hoersch, b 20 Dec 1950. After a tortuous path through acting and fiction writing, I found my natural voice in playwriting. Credits include two NJ State Council on the Arts grants; one for fiction and one for playwriting, a Woolrich fellowship for fiction writing from Columbia University, a "Best Short Story" award from Columbia University, and a roundtable reading at The Lark for my first play, "Jackson Is Gone."

Synopsis:
In 2010, at the height of the recession, Carthage Financial, a prestigious Wall St. accounting firm, begins a series of layoffs and cutbacks, all supposedly done for the greater cause of saving the firm from financial ruin. But when a standard issue desk chair turns out to be a cardboard box, and the most recent hire is a blow-up doll named Charlotte, Elizabeth Bailen, the manager of the IT department, begins to wonder what hidden motives are actually driving this "new reality." As the situation deteriorates, as loyalties break down and belief systems crumble, she realizes that cosmic forces and new life forms are emerging from the ruins.
Notes:
Main set is the IT department of a large corporation. Two subsets - one a round table with three chairs, the second a room with three windows.
