Press materials describe the show thus: "In Orson Welles' love letter to the theatre and its players, a Shakespearean company forgoes their rehearsal of King Lear to take on the challenge of a new play entitled Moby Dick. The stage becomes the decks of the ship on which the cast sails through the storms and tribulations of the Pequod hunting for Moby Dick."

The performance schedule is: Wed. – Sat. at 8pm, and Sun. at 3pm.  Tickets are $15, and $10 for students and seniors.  Call SmartTix at (212) 868-4444 or visit www.SmartTix.com for reservations.
