Photo Coverage: 'A LIFETIME BURNING' Press Day

Cusi Cram's work has been hailed as imaginative, original, poetic and has been produced across the country at theaters such as Barrington Stage, The Public Theater and South Coast Rep. "This season, Primary Stages is excited to highlight the plays of three exciting voices in the theater," said Andrew Leynse, Artistic Director. "We are thrilled that Cusi Cram's play opens our 25th Anniversary Season."

The creative team includes Kris Stone (Set), Theresa Squire (Costumes), David Weiner (Lights), and Daniel Baker (Sound). The Production Stage Manager is C.A. Clark.
