Shattered Globe Theatre has added a one-week extension for its current hit production of Kenneth Lonergan's Lobby Hero. Originally scheduled to close March 1, Lobby Hero will now run through Sunday, March 8. Shattered Globe has also added a 2 p.m. matinee this Saturday, February 22.
Charm, romance and humor abound in this 2001 comedy by Kenneth Lonergan, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of Manchester by the Sea. The story is set in a mid-rise apartment lobby in Manhattan, where a rudderless security guard, his demanding supervisor, a rookie cop, and her veteran partner are forced to navigate the question of whether doing the wrong thing for the right reason can ever be justified. Confronting complex moral dilemmas, their choices reveal the blurred lines between right and wrong.
