Aaron Sorkin's "The Farnsworth Invention"

Who doesn't love television?  Like that fan favorite
"The West Wing"?
Or if movies are more your style, did you enjoy the Oscar-winning film "The Social Network"?  Or how about that other Oscar-nominated movie set in the Bay Area "Moneyball"? And then there's the classic you-can't-handle-the-truth courtroom drama "A Few Good Men". 


What do they all have in common? 


They were all written by Aaron Sorkin, author of Pal oAlto Players' 83rd season finale The Farnsworth Invention

In the 1920's, two men are locked in an epic
competition to lay claim to the most influential invention of the last century: television.  The Farnsworth Invention airs this amazing race-a 
real-life David and Goliath battle between Philo Farnsworth, a self-taughtIdaho farm boy, and David Sarnoff, an enterprising Russian immigrant.  This fast-paced, witty drama will captivate audiences with its remarkable
storytelling of scientific discovery, double-dealings, and corporate
espionage.  You'll never look at television the same way again!
