Mary-Arrchie Theatre Co. Presents Midwest Premiere of THE RANT, 2/18-3/28

Mary-Arrchie Theatre Co. will present the Midwest Premiere of THE RANT by Andrew Case at Angel Island, 735 W. Sheridan. It will open Thursday, February 18, 2010 at 8 p.m. and run Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 7 p.m.

THE RANT is a gripping drama exploring racial bias and the perilous path to justice. When an African-American autistic boy is gunned down by police in the Bronx, an investigator sets out to expose the officer's crime only to learn that the truth itself is a sort of bias. She must wade through prejudice, deceit, and a volley of anonymous threats to find where culpability and truth really lie.

THE RANT is based on Andrew Case's eight years of experience working on police misconduct issues for the City of New York. He served as the chief spokesman and policy officer for the Civilian Complaint Review Board, which investigates over 5,000 complaints every year against NYPD officers.

NY Times: "The author's passion is undeniable, giving ‘The Rant' its dramatic power."

Tickets are $18 on Thursday and Sunday, $20 on Friday, and $22 on Saturday. There will be previews on Tuesday and Wednesday February 16th and 17th at 8 p.m. Tickets for previews are $5. We will close on Sunday, March 28th, 2010 at 7 p.m. There is parking available in the Mobil Gas Station across from the theater at a fee determined by Mobil Gas.
