The inspired young playwright, the dramatic diva, the emotionally involved director and the short-tempered producer gather in the star’s hotel room to toast their pending triumph: a moving new play destined to change the hearts and minds of audiences everywhere. However, by the end of the night, everyone is wishing they had performed Oklahoma. Written by cherished American playwright, Moss Hart, Light Up the Sky “… survives as an insider's comic valentine to a kind of theater that disappeared decades ago,” hails the New York Times.
On the October 9th performance, in conjunction with the NJ Theatre Alliance, Light Up the Sky will feature an Open Captioned Performance. The Open Caption Service is an initiative that was launched by the Theatre Alliance in professional NJ theatres to assist the hearing impaired, while enhancing the overall theatrical experience. Tom Muza of McCarter Theatre notes, “we have learned that the program benefits a wide segment of our audience, not just the ones who know they are hard of hearing.” Patrons with hearing disabilities may contact the box office for more information about special pricing.
