NIAGARA FALLS Held Over For Two Final Performances

You won't see anything else like "Niagara Falls". And it is returning for two final performances on Monday the 13th and Wednesday the 15th at 8 PM.

Justin Maxwell's dark, hilarious, and poetic "Niagara Falls" has been one of the most talked about shows of the season.

Thrilling and challenging audiences with laughs and chills, "Niagara Falls" features the talents of Jim Fitzmorris, Matthew Mickal, Kyle Woods, Margeaux Fanning, and Times-Picayune Actress of the Year Bunny Love.

It boasts a set by David Raphel, lights by Robert Camp, and a sound design by Clare Marie Nemanich that is a character in its own right.

Directed by Logan Faust, "Niagara Falls" is produced by Broken Habit Productions.

Maxwell's "Niagara Falls" is a broken play for a broken city.

A corrupt mayor more interested in his five thousand and five dollars than his constituents a mistress obsessed with Canada, an estranged wife seeking freedom from her marriage and life, and the owner of a Seneca casino desiring a casual revenge are all part of Maxwell's wild word play driven by Imagist poetics.

And in the center of it all, a three-hundred-year-old boy leaves his home at the bottom of the Niagara River and wanders through the rust belt dereliction of the landscape asking, "do you know why there are so many bodies in the whirlpool?"

But it is the city itself, quickly approaching the end of its dramatic arc, that is the protagonist, and it answers the boy's question with a larger one.

How, with good resources, perfect location, and one of the seven wonders of the natural world, can an American city die?

Tickets: 20$. Student discounts available.
