Roundabout's BURNING BOY Opens Tomorrow!

Roundabout Theatre Company's production of The Dream of the Burning Boy , a new play by David West Read, directed by Evan Cabnet, officially opens tomorrow, Wednesday, March 23rd. The Dream of the Burning Boy features Reed Birney (Larry), Josh Caras (Dane), Matt Dellapina (Steve), Jake O'Connor (Kyle), Jessica Rothenberg (Chelsea), Kristie Dale Sanders (Andrea), and Alexandra Socha (Rachel).

This play marks the first time a two-production season has been produced at Roundabout Underground since the program premiered in 2007. The Dream of the Burning Boy follows the critically acclaimed & sold out hit Tigers Be Still from fall 2010.

This is a limited engagement through Sunday, May 8th, 2011. All tickets for Roundabout Underground productions are $20.

In The Dream of the Burning Boy the sudden death of a high school overachiever exposes a secret that could destroy those left behind, or bring them closer together. A bittersweet story of choices made, opportunities lost, and finding the strength to move on.
