The threads that run through "Two Stories," a new play making its world premiere at Salt Lake Acting Company, are pulled from today's headlines: "Neighbors battle over McMansions" and "Can newspapers save jobs with web hits?"
The topics are just two things that keep Utah playwright Elaine Jarvik — a former reporter with a love of houses and neighborhood aesthetics — up at night.
"I really wanted to tell both these stories," she said. "There was a connection: my rights versus your rights, and what do we really own?"
The play follows Jodi Wolcott, an old-school journalist forced to produce stories that will draw web hits, and the Masoris family, who plan to remodel their modest house.
