Playwrights Horizons presents The Light Years, directed and developed by Obie Award winner Oliver Butler (Jacuzzi, The Open House, Blood Play). The new work from The Debate Society will officially open March 13 at 7 PM at the company’s Mainstage Theater (416 West 42nd Street, New York). The limited engagement is currently scheduled to play through April 2.

The new play is described by Playwrights as such: “Behold The Spectatorium: an audacious, visionary 12,000-seat theatre designed for the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893 by Steele MacKaye (Mr. Sisto), the now forgotten theatrical impresario around whom this haunted, 40-year love story spins. From the minds of celebrated play-making company The Debate Society, The Light Years is an epic, intimate tale of two families struggling to meet their future, and a spectacular tribute to man’s indomitable spirit of invention.”
