Emerging off-off Broadway company City Attic Theatre is continuing their second season with the World Premiere production of Greg Romero's (The Shelter, The Eulogy Project, Two Bubbles) The Most Beautiful Lullaby You've Ever Heard. The play was selected from nearly two hundred scripts as the winner of playwriting competition CAT Tales, which was hosted by City Attic Theatre last May. The script has been previously developed in Texas and in New York with the Boomerang Theatre Company, New Dramatists and Kitchen Dog.
Press releases state, "Inside of
The Most Beautiful Lullaby You've Ever Heard, a Man and a Woman breathe in the possibility of a blank piece of paper. The paper becomes a sailboat, their breath becomes a journey that busts the world open, spilling out a truth so big that it could only fit inside of a human heart in love with another equally and beautifully broken person." The show is directed by Andrew Merkel, designed by Amanda Embry and Joshua Rose, and stars John Conor Brooke, Dianna Marino, and Lucy Walters.
The Most Beautiful Lullaby You've Ever Heard runs May 24-26, May 28, and May 31-June 1 at 8:00 p.m., May 27 at 3 p.m., and June 2 at 7 p.m. in the Under St. Marks Theatre, located at 94 St. Marks Place. Tickets are $15 and are available at the door (cash only). For
reservations, call 212-330-7045 or e-mail cityattic@gmail.com.
