The Lion in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre and The Conrad Prebys Theatre Center, through October 30, 2016.
A good storyteller uses everything he has.

The New York Daily News called The Lion “an irresistible winner!”

In the backyard of a Pittsburgh tenement in 1948, friends gather to mourn for a blues guitarist and singer who died just as his career was on the verge of taking off.

 San Diego Repertory Theatre
The San Diego Repertory Theatre presents Disgraced, October 20th through November 13th, on the Lyceum Stage.
Amir Kapoor is ignoring his Muslim heritage so he can live the American Dream, with a beautiful wife, an amazing New York apartment and a lucrative career practicing law that is headed for the stars. When Amir and his artist wife host a dinner party for his African-American co-worker and her Jewish husband, the things one is not supposed to talk about at dinner are suddenly at the center of the dinner conversation. The evening quickly erupts into a fiery debate over race, religion and class in the modern world. Everything that Amir has achieved, including his proudly built new identity, is suddenly turned upside down in a way no one could have imagined.
This Pulitzer Prize winner is the most produced contemporary play in American Theatre today. Fearlessly investigating the 21st century clash between American culture and the Islamic faith, this dramatic story needs to be witnessed.
