Eye On the Sparrow: The World Within St. Louis
Gitana Productions presents new original play 'Eye on the Sparrow: The World Within St. Louis'
April 21, 2010 - Gitana Productions, Inc. will present a new original play, "Eye on the Sparrow: The World Within St. Louis," by award-winning playwright Lee Patton Chiles at St. Louis University Theatre, 3733 West Pine Mall.
Performances run from May 21 through June 6, at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays.
Based on the actual stories of unique and diverse St. Louisans, the play brings attention to the "sparrows" among us, the many extraordinary yet ordinary people who enrich our lives in the St. Louis region.
"Some of our heroes are like sparrows, people of simple means and humble backgrounds whose work or deeds make our community better and inspire us to be better," said Cecilia Nadal, executive director of Gitana Productions, in a news release. "'Eye On The Sparrow' captures their stories and illuminates the beauty within."
Gitana Productions has received six Kevin Kline Award nominations for its first two original plays, "Complacency of Silence: Darfur" in 2008 and "My Heart is Always Shaking" in 2009.
Tickets for "Eye on the Sparrow" are $15, or $12 for seniors 65 and older and for students. For reservations or special group rates, call (314) 721-6556 or email gitana@stlouis.missouri.org. Tickets also are available at Cafe Natasha, Screenz, MacroSun and Living Insights Center.
