"Farnsworth"
is a fast-paced account of the events leading to the realization of
one of the 20th Century's most influential inventions, the
television. 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 from Aaron Sorkin,
creator of The West Wing, playwright of A Few Good Men
and Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning writer for The Social
Network.



Starring: Peter Belenchia, Nate Beynon,
Greg Borucki, Jenn Bullington, Adam Coons, Jimmy Cupp, Kyrie Ellison,
Ken Goldfarb, Rob Hill, Joey Hunziker, Isaac Newberry, Andrew
Pattenaude, Richard Ring, Briavel Schultz, Matthew Side, Hannah
Stenzel, and Tom Templeton.
