There will be concert performances of THE CRADLE WILL ROCK May 16, 23 & 30.

Art and politics collide when the government’s Works Progress Administration shuts down director Orson Welles’ new pro-union musical THE CRADLE WILL ROCK in 1937. With the theatre doors padlocked, the cast and company must work frantically to make sure their voices are heard. This fast-paced and brilliantly witty comedy brings to life a defining moment in the history of American theatre.

Director Louis Contey returns, fresh from receiving the Joseph Jefferson Citation for his direction of TimeLine’s AWAKE AND SING! last season.

TimeLine is also presenting special concert performances of THE CRADLE WILL ROCK.
