A Quiet Place October 27, 2010

“One of Bernstein’s most impressive scores … the orchestration is as characterful as you could wish – punchy and seductive by turns.” –Gramophone

Acclaimed director Christopher Alden stages a new production of the final stage work of America’s greatest theater composer Leonard Bernstein.

Never before seen in New York, this tonally daring musical drama incorporates his popular one-act satire Trouble in Tahiti to create an emotionally searing and deeply moving parable of alienation, strife, and reconciliation found in a modern, middle-class American family.
