A Las Vegas playwright's new comedic play makes a statement against exploitation

Jenny Fox

The new play Waiting For Barnum is another example of what an arts grant can do for a local artist.

Playwright Jenny Fox recently earned her second award from the Nevada Arts Council, which she used to workshop her latest production. Waiting for Barnum is a satire about an adult, circus-themed restaurant, where four women servers try to keep their dignity as they aim to please three disrespectful male customers.

The play debuts April 25 at Super Summer Theater Studios.
