NICU'S SPOON is pleased to announce their production of Don Thompson's Tibet Does Not Exist, directed by Pamela Butler. Tibet Does Not Exist will play a three-week limited engagement at the Spoon Theater (38 West 38th Street, 5th Fl.) Performances begin Wednesday, April 8th and continuing through Sunday, April 26th. Opening Night is Saturday, April 11th (8 p.m.).

A exiled Tibetan Lama becomes an uncomfortable house guest for a Yale economics professor, who, along with his cynical colleagues, do not quite know what to think of the often irreverent monk. As the Lama turns his attention to the economist, the professor confesses some painful truths regarding mis-understood ideas and unresolved relationships. En route the Lama takes us on a sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant journey through what the tragedy of Tibet means in a modern context. With the turmoil in Tibet making recent headlines, Tibet Does Not Exist takes on special meaning.

The production features scenic design by John Trevellini, costume design by S. Barton-Farcas, and lighting design by Steven Wolf. S. Barton-Farcas is the sound engineer and Alvero Sena is the stage manager.

Tibet Does Not Exist plays the following regular schedule through Sunday, October 26th:

Wednesdays at 8 p.m.
Thursdays at 8 p.m.
Fridays at 8 p.m.
Saturdays at 8 p.m.
Sundays at 8 p.m.
