Dirty Legal Secrets at Cellunova Productions

Who doesn't love secrets, especially those that are hard to get? Shut away behind the closed doors of high-profile tech startups lies the crazy live drama that overshadows what is on the screen. Egos, money and fame make even the smartest do unthinkable things. But what if we can have a peek at it?

Here comes your chance! Cellunova, a interdisciplinary theatre company, will present a legal comedy play, Dirty Legal Secrets, from October 17th to October 27th, 2024, at Room 52.

Dirty Legal Secrets is based on real-life stories from startup lawyers and offers a unique glimpse into the wild world of tech startups. Written by Sarah Feingold, Etsy’s first lawyer, award winning general counsel, and Media Law professor at NYU, the play draws from her experience as an attorney. Over the years, Sarah has anonymously collected wild, untold stories from legal professionals. By framing these tales in a comedic format, she creates an inviting atmosphere that allows the audience to peek behind the glamorous curtain of tech startups.

"[Dirty Legal Secrets: Based on True Startups] was awesome. So many truisms. So many laugh out loud moments."

- Daniel Doktori, Startup Executive

"From the expert comedic call backs (I was in STITCHES), to the smooth transition to drama, and then adeptly right back to comedy just as [Dirty Legal Secrets: Based on True Startups] hit a poignant beat; it was all really well done.”

- Chris Stafford, Tech Attorney
