A play by “The Social Network” screenwriter Aaron Sorkin anchors Forward Theater Co.?s 2011-12 season, opening in November in the Overture Center Playhouse. “The Farnsworth Invention,” about the man who invented the television and the executive who stole it from him, ran on Broadway from December 2007 through early March 2008. Forward is able to present “Farnsworth,” a drama with a cast of 16 who play 70 roles, because of a partnership with the University Theatre at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Students from the graduate acting program will fill out the cast.
