Transport Group & Lucille Lortel Theatre present
On Set with Theda Bara
Written by Joey Merlo // Directed by Jack Serio // Performed by David Greenspan

7:00PM @ The Brick

In this hallucination of a one-person show, a genderqueer teen who goes missing and their gay detective father come face-to-face with the supernatural and consciousness-devouring Theda Bara, the real-life vamp and silent film star of the 1910s. On Set with Theda Bara is part gothic coming-of-age story and part campy melodrama about identity consumption and the horror of not knowing who you are.

Transport Group and Lucille Lortel Theatre are proud to present the full-length Off-Broadway debut of On Set with Theda Bara, written by Joey Merlo, directed by Jack Serio (Uncle Vanya), and performed by the incomparable six-time Obie winner David Greenspan.

The run time is 65 minutes, with no intermission.

8:15PM @ Macri Park
