The Barrow Group will open its 20th anniversary season with the New York premiere of Dan Clancy's The Timekeepers on October 18th. Previews begin October 11th for a run that ends November 11th.
The Timekeepers is, "A tale of transcendence in the midst of a world gone mad. At Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp in World War II Germany, a Jewish prisoner and a homosexual prisoner are thrown together in dire circumstances. Their wicked sense of humor, vast differences, and passionate love for opera take them to rich, rarely explored territory."In an interesting move, The Barrow Group's Artistic Leadership will direct and act in the show. TBG's Co-Artistic Artistic Director Seth Barrish and Executive Director Eric Paeper will star. Lee Brock, TBG's other Co-Artistic Director, will direct. Barrish is known for directing Off-Broadway shows like Pentecost and The Tricky Part. Paeper has appeared in Message to Michael at the Rattlestick Theatre Off-Broadway, and as Michael in many international tours of A Chorus Line. Brock has acted at the Lucille Lortel and the Manhattan Theatre Club. She previously directed Diana Son's Stop Kiss for TBG.Videos
