PURE Theatre Presents YANKEE TAVERN 1/22-2/13

PURE Theatre is proud to present the South Carolina premiere of the psychological thriller Yankee Tavern by Steven Dietz. The play is directed by PURE Artistic Director Sharon Graci, and will feature Will Hodges, Randy Neale, Katie Huard, and Mark Poremba. Opening Friday, January 22, 2010 at Upper Lance Hall on the grounds of Circular Congregational Church, the production will run through Saturday, February 13th.

Inside the walls of a crumbling New York tavern, a young couple find themselves caught up in what might be the biggest conspiracy of all. Steven Dietz's acclaimed dramatic thriller is a fierce, funny and ultimately mind-bending work of theatrical power that grips you until the final word. From the playwright of More Fun Than Bowling, Ten November, The Last of the Boys, Honus and Me, and Sherlock Holmes, comes a new play filled with mystery, conspiracy and thrills. In an instant, outlandish hypothesis become dangerous realities as surprising revelations continue to emerge in this eye-opening look at our government and the theories behind the events that have shaped our country.

Yankee Tavern made its debut at the Curious Theatre in Denver, CO, and has gone on to have performances in Washington, DC, Seattle, Charlotte, and Manalapan, FL for Florida Stage.

PURE Theatre has garnered a reputation for artistic excellence, risk taking, and thinking outside of the box. The company's intrepid approach to the art and craft of theatre has garnered them numerous critics and audience awards, as well as a loyal following of patrons.
