Photo Flash: West of 10th Presents the New York Premiere of Lia Romeo's AMERICAN DREAMERS
West of 10th is presenting the New York premiere of American Dreamers by Lia Romeo at The Workshop Theater's Jewel Box Theater. The production continues its limited engagement through this Sunday, August 19th.
American Dreamers is set in the not too distant past of November of 2016, where recent graduate Becca Barrington has been dumped by her boyfriend, rejected by every grad school she applied to, and ended up at a dead-end job in the town where she grew up. To pay off six-figure student loans, Becca decides to try working as an escort... but her first client turns out to be a mortifying surprise. But at least America is about to elect the first woman president... right?
Featured in the cast are Sarah Chalfie, Tony Christopher, Sue Kim, Timothy Mullins* and Violeta Picayo*. The production is directed by Molly Clifford and produced by West of 10th's Co-Artistic Directors, Jen Sandler & Rachel Goodgal. The production is stage managed by Yve Carruthers, with lighting design by Cheyenne Sykes, sound design by Jessica Hart, set design by Melanie Waingarten, and costume design by Emily Bono. American Dreamers is an Equity Approved Showcase.
American Dreamers will continues performance tonight, Friday August 17th-Sunday, August 19th. All performances are at 8pm, with an additional matinee on Sunday, August 19th. All tickets are $20 and are available at Westof10th.com/Tickets or at the theater 30 minutes before showtime on performance days only.
