THE NIGHT THOREAU SPENT IN JAIL
Directed by Celeste Cosentino. Assistant Director Kyle Huff
Writing in the New York Times, Howard Taubman described the ideological relevance of The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail to contemporary audiences, stating: "this play and its protagonist, though they are of the 19th century, are speaking to today's concerns: an unwanted war in another land, civil disobedience, the interdependence of man and nature, education, the role of government and the governed.”
"A poignant and honest continuation of themes that have always been present in the work of some of this country's most important dramatists, here reconsidered in the light and shadow of time passed." -NY Times
"Absolutely fascinating... Imaginatively commanding." -Washington Post
"Scene after scene moves you to laughter or close to tears." -Newsday
