World Premiere Of THE PITCH Opens At The Lyric Hyperion
by A.A. Cristi - May 3, 2022
Tom Alper carried three scenes of a play around in his briefcase for almost a decade, telling everyone he was writing a new play. A deeply personal work, it took his youngest daughter going to college, a divorce, inspiration from his new girlfriend and open reflection on the bizarre experiences of working in a “boiler room” for him to complete it…and provide the catharsis he desperately needed.
