Photo Flash: First Look at THE WATCH TOWER at American Theatre of Actors

Photographer A. G. Liebowitz (whose photos have appeared in The New York Times and New York Magazine) was on hand opening weekend of the new play, The Watch Tower. Get a first look at the cast onstage below! Laurie Rae Waugh's production of Steve Silver's dark drama had a great opening weekend and continues tonight thru Sunday.

Playwright Steve Silver and director Laurie Rae Waugh remind us of the dangers that once lurked beyond Eighth Avenue in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen in The Watch Tower, Silver's drama about racial tensions and organized crime. Seen through the eyes of Eileen, a resident since childhood, The Watch Tower opens in 1979 at a "sit-down" between the Irish and Italian mobs and moves briskly to St. Patrick's Day 1986 when Eileen must decide between family loyalty and her own survival. Love may conquer all - including Eileen herself.

The cast features: Caroline M. Smith, Ken Bari Murray, Ken Coughlin, Julia Yarwood, Mr. Silver and Ms. Waugh.

The Watch Tower by Steve Silver, directed by Laurie Rae Waugh, runs Tuesday - Saturday, September 17 - 21 @ 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, September 22 @ 3:00 p.m. at The American Theatre of Actors, 314 West 54th Street, New York City. Tickets: (212) 581-0344.
