• Mainstage Drama Series •
Coram Boy
Written by Helen Edmundson
Music by Adrian Sutton
Adapted from the novel by Jamila Gavin
Richard E. Hess, director
Worthy of Dickens in the power and scope of its story-telling, Coram Boy centers around the Coram Foundling Hospital and the lives of those connected with it - from the abandoned children coming of age to the deceitful "Coram men" who take unwanted children (for a fee) to the grave rather than the orphanage. Nominated for six Tony Awards, the drama chronicles a thrilling tale of emotional partings, evil endeavors and family redemption, shedding light on the tragedies of the so-called Age of Enlightenment in 18th-century England. George Frideric Handel's Messiah, sung by the children and youth of Coram, serves as the backdrop for the area premiere of this magical theatrical treat.
Location: Patricia Corbett Theater
Tickets: $11 (preview only), $27-$29, $17-$19 students, $11 student rush tickets available for Saturday matinee beginning at 1 p.m. on Oct. 29; limit two rush tickets per student ID.
