NEMPAC's 2nd Annual Theatrical Production, Moss Hart's "Light Up The Sky",
Will Be Perfomed At The Improv Asylum On October 3rd, 4th, 5th, 10th, 11th and 12th
The North End Music and Performing Arts Center's second annual theatrical production will be "Light Up the Sky", by Moss Hart. The comedy revolves around a group of New York theater-folk who attend the opening of their new play in Boston. The lead actress, the financial backer and several others are bursting at the prospect of a tremendous success with the experimental play of an unknown writer. Gathered in a luxury hotel suite, the parties display their destructive temperament as they turn on each other when it appears that the play is a flop. Although the tables turn when glowing reviews are received, the writer, who is disgusted with the behavior of his associates, must be lured back to the theater from his inevitable return to a simple life of truck driving. Can this important play be saved, or will the footlights go black?
"Light up the Sky" will be performed on Sunday, October 3rd at 2pm and 7pm, Monday, October 4th and Tuesday, October 5th at 7pm, Sunday, October 10th at 2pm and 7pm, Monday, October 11th and Tuesday, October 12th at 7pm. All performances will be held at the Improv Asylum at 216 Hanover Street in Boston's North End.
