Theater Alliance Premieres Nicholas Wardigo's Hum
- Full Price:
- $35.00
- Our Price:
- $17.50
Theater Alliance presents the world premiere of Hum, by 2004 Pew Fellow Nicholas Wardigo. His latest work takes place in a world that is plagued with a pervasive hum, forcing everyone to communicate non-verbally. The central couple, Van and Eva, have built a normal life together without the use of the spoken word. When a stranger interferes, they are pushed into a new world with new ways of communicating, which changes their lives forever. With change comes sacrifice, however, and the couple must deal with the struggle between familiar routines and freedom, both in personal and political life. Learn More

The dance performance was beautiful, well-designed, not too long or too short. The box office operation was somewhat disorganized. The ambience of the Atlas Theater was great, refreshments were available, comfortable lobby with small tables, chairs, live music during breaks between shows.Written on Mar 06 2012
