Quantum Theatre presents Lucy Kirkwood’s Olivier Award-winning play Chimerica at the newly opened Maverick Hotel, former East Liberty YMCA, from November 27 to December 19. Directed by Quantum Theatre’s Founding Artistic Director Karla Boos and featuring Art Direction by Susan Tsu, the original 2020 cast and crew finally join for this examination of capitalism and culture, journalism and censorship, which takes a point of departure from the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing, 1989.

Chimerica follows fictional photojournalist Joe Schofield, who photographed the iconic “Tank Man” in Tiananmen Square during the 1989 pro-democracy protests. Twenty-three years later, after learning that the famous dissident may still be alive and living in the United States, Joe resolves to locate him and tell his story, putting careers, relationships, and lives on the line in the process.

Performances are Tuesday - Saturday at 8PM, and Sundays at 7PM.

Please see the website for more details on the play and how to purchase tickets.

Best,
