Signature Theatre presents the world premiere of stop. reset., running now through September 29, 2013. Opening was last night, September 8 in The Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre at The Pershing Square Signature Center (480 West 42nd Street between 9th and 10th Avenues). Check out photos from the big event below!
Written and directed by Regina Taylor, the play features cast members Michi Barall (Signature's Queens Boulevard, An Oresteia) as Deb, Teagle Bougere (Wings, A Raisin in the Sun) as Chris, Ismael Cruz Cordova ("The Good Wife") as J., LaTanya Richardson Jackson (The Fighting Temptations) as Jan, Carl Lumbly (Jitney, "Alias") as Alex Ames and Donald Sage Mackay ("Scrubs") as Tim.
As e-books outsell printed books, Alex Ames, the owner of Chicago's oldest African American book publishing company, must question each of his employees to determine who is still relevant in a rapidly changing world. When he meets J, a mysterious youth plugged into the future, Mr. Ames is forced to discover just how far he will go to survive. A new play from Residency Five playwright Regina Taylor, stop. reset. asks powerful questions of legacy, identity and survival in a world where the real and the virtual are more closely tied than we think.
