The Actors Company Theatre (TACT) has announced its 2016-17 season. The slate will include a rare New York revival of Oliver Goldsmith’s She Stoops To Conquer and the world premiere of The Gravedigger’s Lullaby by Jeff Talbott.
The Gravedigger’s Lullaby, directed by Jenn Thompson, is centered on Baylen, a hardworking gravedigger struggling to make ends meet. Performances will begin February 28 for an official opening on March 12, also at The Beckett Theatre.
She Stoops To Conquer, Oliver Goldsmith's 18th century British comedy about mismatched loves, will begin performances October 4 at The Beckett Theatre at Theatre Row. Featuring direction by Scott Alan Evans, the revival will officially open October 16.
