WHO

Directed by Associate Company Member Jamal Howard
Featuring: Bide Akande, Kelly Combs, Amy Gorelow, and Anthony Whitaker

WHAT

In the rise of corporate control and anti-union sentiment, are you with the people or the growing oligarchy? This is the core-question of the 1937 play, The Cradle Will Rock. Join TUTA for a second look at this script about the corruption of our institutions as society is faced with an oppressive corporate class.

This experimental TUTAlab will take the the form of a staged reading by exploring the lyrics as straight dialogue and mostly go without music to present the story. Our small cast of 4 will take on all 28 characters!

PRICE

$20.00

Seating is limited.

The purchase of a reservation is the only way to guarantee a seat for the performance.

Any seating not reserved in advance will be available the day of the performance for in person, pay-what-you-choose ticketing (suggested $20) at the door 30 minutes before curtain time.
