New Conservatory Theatre Center Presents BEAUTIFUL THING, Thru 1/3

The New Conservatory Theatre Center's Pride Season 15 presents Beautiful Thing by Jonathan Harvey, directed by Andrew Nance. The show previewed November 6 -13, opens November 14th and runs through January 3, 2010: All performances will take place at The New Conservatory Theatre Center's Walker Theatre.

This ten-year anniversary production of the NCTC West Coast stage premiere tells the timeless story about two working class London teenage boys who fall in love. This tender and funny love story, set in a South London housing project, tells the tale of Jamie Engel, a shy young man and Ste, his charming and handsome next door neighbor. The boys' attraction to one another is quickened by Ste's difficult home life and the well-meaning intentions of Jamie's Mum, Sandra. Her love and patience are tested as she finds out the truth about the boys' unexpected relationship. A screen adaptation of the play was released in 1996.

The cast includes Gigi Benson, Ben Carver, Subhra Prakash, Brant Rotnem and Cory Tallman

For both previews and the run, the production will run Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm at the New Conservatory Theatre Center's Walker Theatre, located at 25 Van Ness Avenue at Market Street. Tickets range from $22 - $40 and are available at the NCTC Box Office (415) 861 8972, or online at www.nctcsf.org.
