Exit Strategy is produced in association with Philadelphia Theater Company.

A fiery, riveting work about the chaotic final days of an urban public high school, Exit Strategy is a taut, edge-of-your-seat drama about the future of public education from a vital new voice in American playwriting. Named "Chicagoan of the Year in Theater" by the Chicago Tribune, Ike Holter brings his new play to Primary Stages for its New York Premiere after winning rave reviews for a thrice-extended sold-out run last summer.

Exit Strategy features scenic design by Andrew Boyce, costume design by Jessica Pabst, lighting design by Thom Weaver, sound design by Daniel Perelstein, with casting by Klapper Casting.

"Exit Strategy is a bold and provocative new play -- an intense emotional journey that captures the grit of inner city life and explores who really gets 'left behind' when schools fail," saysPrimary Stages Artistic Director Andrew Leynse. "Ike Holter is a compelling new voice in the American theater that demands to be heard."
