The two person musical is directed by Tom Herman, and features the talents of Dana Aber and Spencer Plachy. Performances areWednesday, July 26th at 6pm, Friday, July 28th at 7:15pm and Saturday, July 29th at 4pm. The show is slated to run Off Broadway in the fall of 2017.
The Bet tells the story of Jack and Diana, two ethereal beings whose job is to maintain the balance of creation between God and Satan. Bored with the humdrum predictability of their usual routine, the two decide to make a wager. They will create a planet whose inhabitants have free will, something previously unheard of in the universe. The chance to choose. Will the planet flourish and create new forms of art, literature, music and beauty or will it descend into war, oppression and hatred? The stakes are high as soon the entire galaxy lines up to see what happens.
The Bet will be presented at The WorkShop Theater, 316 West 36th Streets, 4th floor. Tickets can be purchased at https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/cal/27845
