"BETTERLAND"
2000-01-27 until 2000-02-13
ARTGroup
New York, NY, USA United States of America

ARTGroup presents The Crossover Company production of Betterland a new play by David Lohrey. It opens at Creative Place Theatre January 27th and runs until February 13th. Creative Place Theatre is located at 750 Eighth Avenue @ 46th Street. Tickets are $15.00, $8.00 for students and seniors with valid I.D. For reservations call 212-229-7556 or check out Betterlands website.

In Betterland, a veteran schoolteacher, faced with dismissal, discovers that her principles are no longer valued by the institution she serves. Her enlightenment is triggered by the arrival of the first genuine student sheís had in years. The other high schoolers, catching the subversive scent of curiosity, set into motion events that compel the teacherís final act of defiance. Finally, defeated, she is nonetheless set free by her realization that neither she nor the student is welcome in a system devoted to the unexceptional.

Award-winning Playwright / Teacher David Lohrey is no stranger to the classroom ñ or the stage. At present, David teaches at both the college and secondary levels in the Los Angeles area. Davidís plays have been produced across the country, including Group Rep and First Stage in LA.

ARTGroup (A Regional Theatre Group, Inc.) has created affordable theatre in and around New York for the past eighteen years. By making the greatest possible use of community resources, the company has brought productions to communities as diverse as Newark and Yorkville, Murray Hill and East Harlem, the East Village and Roosevelt Island, with stops along the way in TriBeCa, Chelsea/Clinton and Greenwich Village. The companyís newest project, The Crossover Company, will create a bridge between professional and community theatre, drawing talent from, and performing in, both Manhattan and the South Bronx.

Maria Calviat is directing Betterland. The cast of seven includes Brandon Beach, Cooley, Lucille Duncan, Deborah Kahn, Gordona LíDera, Marilyn Mineo and Michael Schwartz.
