American Stage's OPUS Closes 12/5

American Stage Theatre Company has extended the run Michael Hollinger's thoughtful comedy, OPUS, running thru Dec. 5. Added performances will be Dec. 1 thru 5. "Pay What You Can" nights are Tuesday, Nov. 9 and 16 at 7:30 p.m.

After firing one of their founding members due to his erratic behavior after coming out of the closet, a world-class string quartet takes a chance on a gifted, but relatively inexperienced, young woman. With only a few days to rehearse a grueling Beethoven masterpiece, the four struggle to prepare for their highest-profile performance ever-a televised ceremony at the White House. Their rehearsal room becomes a pressure-cooker as passions rise, personalities clash and The Players are forced to confront the ephemeral nature of their life's work when their former member returns. Winner of the Barrymore Award for Outstanding New Play and a Steinberg New Play Citation from the American Theatre Critics Association.
