Pear Theatre Opens 2016-17 Season with THE GUYS and THE VEILS
Pear Theatre opens its 2016-17 season with an insightful pair of plays presented in repertory. THE GUYS, by Anne Nelson, chronicles the real-life relationship between a journalist covering the aftermath of 9/11 in New York, and a New York fire chief struggling to write eulogies for dozens of lost compatriots. Alternating with THE GUYS will be VEILS by Tom Coash, featuring two Muslim women during Arab Spring - one, an African-American born in the United States who seeks to be less of an outsider by taking her college studies to Egypt, the other an Egyptian-born woman who craves the freedom and adventure she imagines American women to have.
