WTCAE P-Lab Students Present THE LIBRARY at Warner Theatre

The students of the Warner Theatre Center For Arts Education Performance Lab will present the chilling play by Scott Z. Burns, THE LIBRARY, in the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre, February 3-5, 2017.

Renowned Hollywood screenwriter Scott Z. Burns captivates readers and audiences alike with this bold and chilling play that echoes the aftermath of Columbine and the impossible questions the national tragedy left in its wake. In his timely and heartrending narrative, Burns asks us to examine our relationship to the truth and the lies that claim to heal us.

**Due to mature subject matter, this play is not recommended for very young audiences.**

Performances of THE LIBRARY are February 3 & 4 at 8:00 pm and February 5 at 2:00 pm. All tickets are $15.50. To purchase tickets, call the Warner Box Office at 860-489-7180 or visit warnertheatre.org.

About the Warner Theatre
Built by Warner Brothers Studios and opened in 1931 as a movie palace (1,772 seats), the Warner Theatre was described then as "Connecticut's Most Beautiful Theatre." Damaged extensively in a flood, the Warner was slated for demolition in the early 1980s until the non-profit Northwest Connecticut Association for the Arts (NCAA) was founded and purchased the theatre. The Warner reopened as a performing arts center in 1983, and restoration of the main lobbies and auditorium was completed in November 2002. In 2008, the new 50,000 square foot Carole and Ray Neag Performing Arts Center, which houses a 300 seat Studio Theatre, 200 seat restaurant and expansive school for the arts, was completed. Today, the Warner is in operation year-round with more than 160 performances and 100,000 patrons passing through its doors each season. Over 10,000 students, pre K-adult, participate in arts education programs and classes. Together, with the support of the community, the Warner has raised close to $17 million to revitalize its facilities. NCAA's mission is to preserve the Warner Theatre as an historic landmark, enhance its reputation as a center of artistic excellence and a focal point of community involvement, and satisfy the diverse cultural needs of the region.
