The long-running Off Broadway favorite Love, Loss, and What I Wore will close tonight, Sunday, March 25, 2012 after playing for two and a half years and 1,013 performances. (March 15th marked the show's landmark 1,000 performance.)

American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.) Executive Director Ellen Richard announced today that A.C.T. will extend Higher, the acclaimed new play by A.C.T. Artistic Director Carey Perloff, with direction by A.C.T. Associate Director Mark Rucker.

Producer Daryl Roth announced today that the long-running Off Broadway favorite Love, Loss, and What I Wore will close on Sunday, March 25, 2012 after playing for two and a half years and 1,013 performances. (March 15th marks the show's landmark 1,000 performance.)

An intense and captivating look at architecture, grief, and Israeli culture and history, Carey Perloff's "Higher," challenges audiences to look at their lives and consider why they do what they do. Produced by American Conservatory Theatre, the play - both dramatic and comedic - shows now through February 19 at The Theater at Children's Creativity Museum in San Francisco. The change in venue for this particular show brings audiences closer to the action. Although the play's fantastic script certainly makes it worthy of playing at the larger A.C.T. Theater, the smaller seating area does nothing to diminish the quality of the show. If anything, it makes viewers feel like they are a part of the story, like they have a stake in what happens.

American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.) is proud to present the world premiere of Higher, written by A.C.T. Artistic Director Carey Perloff and directed by A.C.T. Associate Artistic Director Mark Rucker.
