After a series of brutal layoffs at Sutton, Feingold, and McGrath, a precocious young consultant is brought in to save a middle-aged adman’s job, and maybe his life.

The Consultant received its world premiere at Long Wharf Playhouse's Stage II Theatre in February of 2014, under the direction of Kip Fagan.
