Photo Flash: First Look at Immersive CAUGHT at Think Tank Gallery
The award-winning Firefly Theater and Films, in association with THINK TANK GALLERY and Vs. Theatre, present the Los Angeles Premiere of the 2016 Obie-winner for playwriting, CAUGHT, by Christopher Chen. CAUGHT opens tonight, November 3, and runs through Sunday, December 10 at Think Tank Gallery, 939 Maple Ave in Downtown LA. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
The show will be the first fully immersive production of CAUGHT - set "inside" and integrated into a real art show at Think Tank Gallery in Downtown LA - and will be directed by New York's rising star director Ed Sylvanus Iskandar. It will feature Louis Changchien, Jackie Chung, Jessica Kaye, and Steven Klein.
You walk into a gallery hosting District 798, a show of new work inspired by a legendary Chinese dissident artist who was imprisoned in China for a single, epic work of art. Recently profiled in The New Yorker, the Chinese artist himself is present, and begins his presentation by sharing the details of an ordeal that breaks your heart and stirs your sense of justice. But... his lecture is interrupted; then that interruption is broken. Soon, you find yourself in a labyrinthine exploration of truth, art, social justice, and cultural appropriation, where nothing is as it first appears.
Tickets are available online at www.thinktank.gallery.
