BLUEBARN Theatre Presents “The City in the City in the City”

BLUEBARN’s (www.bluebarn.org) current production is the premiere of the new play by Matthew Capodicasa, The City in the City in the City.

Capodicasa’s other plays include You Remind Me of You, Frelmetsch the Maneater, Vessels, All the People You’ve Been, and Chaos and Caesar Salad. His work has been presented or developed at the Kennedy Center, the National New Play Network, Primary Stages, the Flea Theater, the Abingdon Theatre, the Great Plains Theatre Conference, the Bloomington Playwrights Project, Theater Masters, the Habitat, Fordham University, and NYU’s Experimental Theatre Wing. He is the recipient of the Woodward/Newman Drama Award, and his plays have been finalists for the O’Neill National Playwrights Conference and the Heideman Award.

In the play, an unlikely duo sets off on an adventure to a strange city of doubles, checkpoints, mystifying bureaucracy, ancient graves, and a hidden world neither of them expected to encounter. Two actors play dozens of roles in this Great Plains Theatre Conference pick.

Through June 17, performances will be on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Sunday June 3 and 17 at 6 p.m., and Sunday, June 10 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $30 for adults and $25 for students/seniors 65+.
