The Builders Association to Present JET LAG, 9/23-10/3

From September 23rd to October 3rd, the Builders Association will present the revival of its 1999-2000 Obie-winning JET LAG, a 1998 collaboration between the Builders and the award-winning architecture team Diller Scofidio + Renfro. Based on two real-life stories in which technology made the impossible possible, JET LAG uses the time-defying magic of multimedia to explore the uses and abuses of technology. The first story tells of an English sailor who tricked the world into believing that he sailed round the globe, and the second of a grandmother who died of jet lag by taking daily flights back and forth from New York to Amsterdam over the course of six months to prevent her grandson's capture by his father. While originally seen in New York during a limited engagement at The Kitchen in 2000, the show has been performed in 13 cities across the globe. The revival was commissioned by Peak Performances.

The production will feature Moe Angelos, Jess Barbagallo, Nick Bonnar, David Pence, Kristen Sieh, and Joe Silovsky and will be directed by Marianne Weems. 

Performances will be held atMontclair State University at 1 Normal Avenue, Montclair.  Tickets are $15.  For more information, visit www.peakperfs.org or www.thebuildersassociation.org.
