Richard III

The Curtain will host a series of panels and talk-backs with national political action groups and elected leaders following Sunday matinees of their all-new adaptation of William Shakespeare's Richard III (starring Andrew Sellon from TV's “Gotham”). These panels are free and open to the public. On Sunday, March 22, panelists include ACLU of NJ Executive Director Amol Sinha and Jersey City Mayor James Solomon. Panelists will address the overlap between Richard III and the current state of American affairs, discussing how to get involved in the current protest movement and local politics, the resources available to the public, knowing and exercising your constitutional rights, how to protect your neighbors and your community, the history of activism in America, and more. Use the discount code NJACLU for $5 off every ticket for any performance for the run of the show!
