Heads is the story of four people - an American engineer, a British embassy employee, a network journalist, and a freelance photographer, who are thrown together when they are taken hostage, during the early years of the Iraq war. How each responds to the unbearable situation, makes Heads a heartwrenching story about finding hope and intimacy in an environment with seemingly no way out. Edward Albee called this play "provocative and wonderfully threatening.” The play was awarded the Primus Prize from the American Theater Critics Association.

Sacred Heart University’s Theatre Arts Program has teamed with its in-residence professional company, Connecticut Children’s Theatre, Inc. (CCT, Inc.) to fund and produce a limited run of “Heads,” in New York at The Beckett Theatre at Theatre Row.

The production will allow students at Sacred Heart University majoring in Theatre Arts, to take part in all creative and technical areas, and to work with a professional director on staging the show in an Off-Broadway venue. Students will be tasked with taking on all production positions including designers, stage management, assistant director, running crew, house crew, graphics, as well as marketing and social media.

First performed on stage in Los Angeles at the Blank Theatre Company, it was a critical success with the Los Angeles Times proclaiming it “so topical that it feels as if the play was co-written by CNN.”

Ages: 16 and above
