The Clockwork Theatre's Opening Night Reception for G.B.S. by Jason Hall was held on March 27th, 2010 at The Kirk Theatre @ Theatre Row. Below are shots from the opening night celebrations, courtesy of Clockwork Theatre.
The Clockwork Theatre, a New York City-based non-profit organization is proud to announce the second production of their 5th Anniversary season with the US Premiere of G.B.S., written by Jason Hall, directed by Jay Rohloff. Performances began on Saturday, March, 20; opened Sunday, March 28 at 2PM and will run through April 10, 2010 at the Kirk Theatre (410 West 42nd Street).
Tickets are $25 and are available at www.TicketCentral.com or by calling 212.279.4200.
In G.B.S., Rich and Sam meet up at the airport. They haven't seen each other in years and they have practically nothing in common. But their father is lying in a coma and the least they can do is find out why. This unique, beautifully crafted two-hander tells the story of two brothers trying to get to the hospital in one piece - a hilarious tale of suburban misadventure.
G.B.S received its Canadian premiere in Toronto where the Toronto Eye Weekly called it "smart, funny and moving" and the Toronto Sun called it "touching and hilarious." The play subsequently received its European premiere at Theatre 503 in London. In their review of that production, The Stage noted that "Hall is clearly in firm control of his characters and presents a compelling and ultimately truthful account of how much remains un-spoken within the confines of a family." The Clockwork Theatre's production will mark the U.S. Premiere of the play.
The cast features: Curran Connor (The Main(e) Play), and Clockwork company member Jason Jacoby. This production will feature scenic and lighting design by Taryn Kennedy and Josh Windhausen, costume design by Mary Hunt, and sound design by Dale Bigall. Casting by Judy Bowman.
Performance schedule: Tuesdays at 7PM; Wednesday- Saturday at 8PM; Saturdays & Sundays at 2PM at The Kirk Theatre, located at 410 West 42nd Street.
