Opening today in Los Angeles at the The Pasadena Playhouse is the World Premiere of Bernard Weinraub’s Above the Fold.
Directed by Steven Robman, The cast includes Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”) as Jane, Kristy Johnson as Monique, Arye Gross as Marvin, Kristopher Higgins as Victor, Mark Hildreth as Lorne, Joe Massingill as Bobby and Seamus Mulcahy as Eric.
Jane, an African-American newspaper reporter from New York, flies to a Southern university where three white fraternity members have been accused of raping a young African-American woman. Taking place amidst the shift from print to digital journalism, ABOVE THE FOLD asks tough questions about the exploitation of tragedy, the cost of success and the dangers that come when ambition collides with truth.
Following previews that began Jan. 28, the play will continue through Feb. 23.
Show times are Tuesday-Friday at 8 PM, Saturday at 4 PM and 8 PM and Sunday at 2 PM and 7 PM. Running Time: 2 hours and 30 minutes (including a 15-minute intermission).
