Levels Online Theatre presents Sheamus’s Tragedy
Sheamus’s Tragedy, an original comedy written and directed by Britt Trachtenberg, will be performed LIVE by teen actors in their homes, and livestreamed to audiences at home, on Saturday, January 16 at 8:00 p.m. Sheamus’s Tragedy concerns teenagers Adam and Michelle Scott, who tell a series of lies to explain their mother’s absence to their father Sheamus after he gets home from a long day of work. When their lies are proven false, they are left with nothing else to tell but the truth — which Sheamus also finds unbelievable. So the teens must resort to lying once more…to get their father to believe the truth. Cast includes Gabrielle Henderson, Leah Schader, Jonathan Wu, Ben Zar and Nina Zar. Running time is approx. 45 minutes.
Virtual admission is free. The links to watch this LIVE production online will become available on the week of the show. Those links will be available on our website at www.greatnecklibrary.org/levels-is. For questions, email jrobinson@greatnecklibrary.org
