Trustus Premieres BIG CITY Tonight

Trustus Theatre will present the world premiere production of Barbara Blumenthal-Ehrlich's BIG CITY.

This show won the 2014 Trustus Playwrights' Festival and was chosen out of over 500 entries submitted nationally. This will be the first professional production of the script, running tonight, August 14, through August 22, 2015 on the Thigpen Main Stage.

The playwright will be in residence on opening weekend.

A modern tale about 21st Century relationships and communication, BIG CITY introduces audiences to Jane and Joe. These friends have been living with each other for a while and are "just roommates," except for Friday nights and the occasional Sunday morning. Now he's drowning in urban angst and wants a deeper commitment -- a baby! -- but Jane says no. Deep down, are they really in love? Or is it just the narrowing of options and fear of being alone that comes from being closer to 30 than 20. Anything can happen over a meal of Chinese takeout and muscle relaxants, especially when unexpected guests invade the small apartment they call home.
