Sapphire Heights Opening Night!

November 7, 2019
Dear Friends,
Live theater is the most ancient of arts, and in a world awash with screens, we need more than ever to share time and space with actors and audience for a singular storytelling experience. That’s what you’ll find tonight and through Saturday, Nov. 9, at our world premiere production of Sapphire Heights.
Sapphire Heights takes place in a London council flat, where newlyweds Billy and Angela are working on a plan to improve the lives of a group of Palestinian families, whom Billy befriended on a trip to the West Bank. Needing financial backing, the young couple decides to solicit Angela’s wealthy parents for the money but are forced to deal with the older couples’ old fashioned opinions and narrow world view. Over an afternoon in the tiny distressed flat and fueled by alcohol, political dissonance, and glaring incompatibility, the two couples’ secrets begin to reveal themselves.
Check out our video preview. Starring Caitlyn Waltermire, Forrest Loeffler, Sharon Sikorski, and Bob Singleton. Performance dates are Nov. 7 at 7:30 pm, Nov. 8 at 7:30 pm, and Nov. 9 and 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm at the Pam Miller Downtown Arts Center. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students, and $8 for students 15 minutes before curtain time. To purchase tickets call 859-425-2550 or visit www.lexingtonky.gov/black-box-theatre.
