Join us to see the third play in Mark Pracht's “Four-Color Trilogy” of plays set during the early years of the comic book industry. If you saw the first pair play of the trilogy, ”The Mark of Kane”, and “The Innocence of Seduction”, you're in for another treat! If you didn't see “The Mark of Kane” or “Innocence of Seduction” this exciting next addition stands alone. It was late in the 1960's that Marvel Comics began creating dozens of memorable characters, one after another over a period of years, and built a single cohesive world for them to inhabit. In comic books, this was revolutionary. The House of Ideas examines the rise of Marvel and the fraught relationship between the Lennon and McCartney of comic books, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
