'Pass Over' is not for everyone - or even most people - but it is for those who are ready and willing to take in a raw, incendiary, and challenging (though often entertaining and gripping) piece of contemporary theater. I admire the play tremendously while also finding it to be repetitive, uncomfortable, and bewildering. I've really missed shows like this.

I mean that Pass Over is not a play that plays it safe. It's a risky enterprise-a serious non-musical show, opening in the summer amid a public-health crisis-and although Pass Over deals with questions of escape, it is far from escapist entertainment. On the contrary, it grapples head-on with issues that have riven the country during the past two years: police violence, systemic racism, financial inequality. The concept of plague figures centrally.
As part of their free virtual salon series, Wingspace Theatrical Design will present a conversation with members of the PASS OVER Production Team: production manager Sean Gorski, COVID safety manager Pamela Remler and set designer Wilson Chin, moderated by assistant set designer Riw Rakkulchon.

Pass Over is not the Broadway of yesteryear. This is a new Broadway, both glistening and openly revealing darkness underneath. It is not complacent, uncritical, or simply nostalgic. Perhaps we have finally said goodbye to one incarnation of the Great White Way, and here Pass Over ushers in the next era, baptizing Broadway anew.
Tickets will be sold at the BO only, starting at 10 am on the day of the performance, and will be available until the box office has sold 30 tickets. Two tickets are allowed to be purchased per person, first come, first served. Tickets are $32.50 + $2.50 per ticket.
