City Theatre Launches 2011-12 With TIME STANDS STILL

City Theatre launches the 2011-12 Season with Time Stands Still, the runaway Broadway hit by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies. Under Artistic Director Tracy Brigden's direction, Time Stands Still runs October 15-November 6, 2011 on City Theatre's Main Stage with an Opening Night Performance on Friday, October 21 at 8pm.

Adventurous couple Sarah and James - a photographer and a journalist - share a passion for reporting from the world's deadliest war zones...that is, until Sarah is seriously wounded. Her recovery thrusts her into the safe, comfortable world of New York colleagues and couples - a world that could prove more dangerous than a battlefield. The New York Times praised Time Stands Still as "the finest new Broadway play of the year."

Time Stands Still features Robin Abramson, Andrew May, Tim McGeever, and Angela Reed. The design team includes Tony Ferrieri (Scenic), Robert C.T. Steele (Costume), Ann Wrightson (Lighting), and Joe Pino (Sound).
