Sloan

Sloan moves through the New Burbage Festival's backstage world as one of the company's working actors, present in the daily churn of rehearsal, rivalry, and performance anxiety that defines the show's ensemble. Introduced amid the theater's chaos, Sloan seems eager to prove themselves within a company already strained by ego and ambition.

Slings & Arrows thrives on its ensemble of theater people who reveal themselves through small behavioral tics rather than grand speeches, and Matt Fitzgerald finds the humor and nerves in a minor player trying to hold his own among bigger personalities. It's a performance that understands how much comedy lives in the margins of a rehearsal room.
