by Archibald MacLeish

October 27- December 10, 2017

(Previews Oct. 27 – Nov. 4)

​

Set in the center ring under the Big Top of a traveling circus that has seen better days, Archibald MacLeish’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play is a re-telling of the Book of Job.  Zuss and Nickles, popcorn and balloon venders, decide to take on the roles of God and Satan and together they push J.B. through his search for justice in the world toward his discovery of what must take its place.  The New York Times called J.B. “one of the memorable works of the century.”  All twenty-three roles in City Lit’s production will be played by an ensemble of nine actresses.

Directed by Brian Pastor.
