The Three-Mile Limit dramatizes a voyage aboard a transatlantic ocean liner in 1927. Real-life and fictional characters reflect the diversity of the passengers and crew. Conflicts resulting from class and ethnic differences, race relations and sexual identity come to life in the play. Directed by Robert Gonzales Jr. and Barbara Kahn. Featuring Kendra Augustin, Danielle Aziza, Steve Barkman, Robert Gonzales Jr., Ruby Hankey, Robert Homeyer, Micha Lazare, Sarah Teed and Steph Van Vlack. The Three-Mile Limit has on board: Alla Nazimova, famous star of stage and film; Florence Mills, African-American singer, dancer and actress returning from a triumphant European tour; Beniamino Gigli, popular Italian tenor looking forward to playing New York’s Carnegie Hall; a young woman from Russia wondering if her husband from an arranged marriage who had emigrated five years earlier will meet her on arrival; an American crew member who has been living a lie; and a wealthy Southerner traveling with his mistress who still hopes for marriage and respectability. With memories of Walter Winchell, Louella Parsons and Dolly Wilde. The interaction of these characters reveals the conflicts and prejudices of the time and place.
