Subscribe to 2 Plays & enjoy savings up to 40% or more off box office prices! There are two remaining titles in our 2012-2013 season, and they are both closing in April, so act now, or you'll miss out! Stuck Elevator, presented by A.C.T., is a world premiere hip hop opera which relates the true story of a Chinese deliveryman who
was trapped in a Bronx elevator for 81 hours. Sounding the alarm will
open the doors to freedom, but calling for help also means calling
for attention--with dire consequences for this undocumented immigrant.
Inventively staged by internationally acclaimed artist Chay Yew--and
introducing the prodigious work of a brilliant young composing
team--Stuck Elevator unleashes an evocative collision of stories,
sounds, instruments, and ideas. LHT subscribers may see Stuck Elevator April 4-14
The Whipping Man,
presented in Mill Valley by Marin Theatre Company, takes place in the
months following the Emancipation Proclamation; two former slaves find
themselves caring for their former owner's son, a Confederate captain,
seriously wounded in the final battle of the Civil War. When the three
Jewish men then share an uneasy, imporvised Seder to mark Passover, they
discover that, though they are no longer tied by slavery, they remain
tied by faith, history, and explosive secrets. The Whipping Man will
feature L. Peter Callender (LHT's 2003 production of King Hedley II) and Tobie Windham (LHT's 2012 production of Blues for an Alabama Sky ). LHT subscribers may see The Whipping Man now through April 21. (Saturday evening performances available for $5 additional fee)
