Lighthouse Theatre Company Presents 'Night Maneuver'

The Lighthouse Theatre Company presents "Night Maneuver" by Howard Korder, Off Broadway at The American Theatre of Actors at 314 West 54th Street (bet 8th & 9th Ave.). Previews begin on Wednesday, August 27th, 2008 and the opening is Friday, August 29th at 8:00 p.m for the limited engagement of this revival.  It is directed by Tom Bain, with lighting design by Judy Merrick and costume design by Brittany Holmes and stars Anthony Caronna, and Alexander Smith.

"Night Maneuver" is the story of Lou, a 26 year-old auto parts clerk and his 18 year-old brother, Tim. The two share a roach infested run down studio apartment in one of America's biggest cities. It becomes apparent both are not playing with a full deck of cards. Tim is an emotional infant, and Lou is an outrageously perverse sociopathic who trade banter that touches on sex, booze and the almost mythical exploits of their older brother, Monty. There is a drug deal unfolding around the two that could possibly change both their lives forever.  As the lies and deceit begin, they both try to claw their way without the other one realizing what's going on for a showdown of sibling rivalry halfway between life and death.

Written in 1982 this play was one of the first of Howard Korder's career and has not been staged in New York City until now. Some of Howard Korder's other plays include "Boys' Life" (which is being revived this season), "Five Very Live," and "The Lights".

The Lighthouse Theatre Company is proud to be the first to put this show on in well over 20 years. It's been an incredible journey getting this show on its feet. The Companies mission is to put up plays that are brilliantly written, but are rarely seen. To show them in a way that is unlike any other, with talented actors and cutting edge direction; taking these shows out of the dark and presenting them to the world re-worked with a modern point of view.  The goal of the company is: To reach out and show the world that good, well crafted, raw theatre is still around and better than ever.         

Performances are Monday – Saturday at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m for the limited engagement through September 7th.  Tickets are only $10 and they are available at Smarttix.com.  You can also make reservations and get information by calling (206) 683-9789.
