Weston Playhouse Theatre Company Presents Paula Vogel's INDECENT

Weston Playhouse Theatre Company presents Paula Vogel's Tony-award-winning play about a group of actors who risked everything for theatre, INDECENT (September 26 - October 20 | Walker Farm), Fri & Sat 7:30pm; Sat 2:00pm; Sun 3:00pm; Thurs Sept. 26 & Thurs Oct. 10 at 7:30pm.

This deeply moving work charts the true story of a group of artists who risked their lives to put on a Broadway production and were arrested on opening night. INDECENT follows the writer, his play, and the people who fought to perform it against all odds. Written by the author of HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE and THE LONG CHRISTMAS RIDE HOME, INDECENT is Weston's fifth American Masters production.

Says director Jordan Fein: "This play is so immediate. It's about making art and making theatre in a time when awful atrocities are occurring. It asks the questions 'why do we do it?' and 'how do we do it?'. It is overwhelming to think about how relevant it is. This play is about immigration, homosexuality, religion, assimilation, war...but ultimately, it's about how we continue to make art and live our lives in challenging times."

Fein is a Brooklyn-based director of theatre and opera. Recent select work includes RAGS PARKLAND SINGS THE SONGS OF THE FUTURE (Ars Nova - NY Times Best of 2018, Lucille Lortel Award), DIE TOTE STADT (Bard College), SINGLET (The Bushwick Starr), and A RIDE ON THE IRISH CREAM (American Realness Festival). Jordan is the Associate Director on the current Broadway revival of OKLAHOMA!.
