Encore!

New Players Theater kicks off its sophomore season with a special encore presentation of Underneath the Lintel.  Presented for two nights only, this quirky and charming "twisty mystery of a tale" features NPT co-founder Mark Mann in a tour-de-force role that won him the Central Ohio Theater Critic's Circle Best Actor award last season.  

When a Dutch librarian finds a book returned 113 years overdue, his curiosity transforms him from a mild-mannered civil servant into a globe-trotting detective.  As his search leads him around the world and into surprising revelations of a long-forgotten past, he ultimately discovers what can only be described as a miracle. 


Smartly directed by NPT co-founder Tim Browning, you'll be delighted by both the intellectual mystery and emotional depth of this one-of-a-kind story.  Richard Ades of The Other Paper called Mann's performance "unfussy and wryly amusing, it's simply masterful!"  Don't miss the opportunity to see it for yourself!

2 PERFORMANCES ONLY on October 14th & 15th at the Columbus Performing Arts Center (549 Franklin Ave).  Curtain time is 8:00 p.m.  At the door, tickets are pay-what-you-want; or $15 in advance for guaranteed seating.  Purchase advance tickets here!
