Queens Theatre Stages U.S. Premiere of $PENT, Now thru 5/6
Queens Theatre presents the U.S. premiere of $PENT, a Canadian import that skewers the global financial crisis. Tickets for the two-week premiere run are on sale now at the Queens Theatre Box Office (14 United Nations Ave South in Flushing Meadows Corona Park), online at queenstheatre.org or by phone at 718.760.0064.
Winner of Toronto’s Dora Award for Best Performance, $PENT is a funny, fast paced and poetic commentary on the greed that caused the worldwide financial crisis. Two actors—Ravi Jain and Adam Paolozza—play 20 characters from around the world in this physical and comedic tour de force. Originally produced by Toronto’s Theatre Smith-Gilmour, the show played a sold-out run at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2011.
$PENT will play the Studio Theatre at Queens Theatre tonight, April 27-May 6. Performances are Friday at
7:30pm, Saturday at 2 & 8pm, Sunday at 3pm. Tickets are $25.
Queens Theatre is located directly under the iconic towers of the New York State Pavilion in Flushing
Meadows Corona Park and is easily accessible by car, bus or subway. By Subway: Take the 7 train to Mets–Willets Point and hop on our free shuttle bus that stops on the south side of Roosevelt Avenue beginning one hour prior to curtain. By Car: Take the Grand Central Parkway East to exit 9E (from Manhattan) or West to 9P (from Long Island) and follow the signs for theatre parking. Parking is free.
