"Frost / Nixon" June 7 – 23

"Frost / Nixon," by Peter Morgan, directed by Bob Johnson, is riveting, compelling, funny, thought-provoking – and historical. In the 1970s, British talk-show host David Frost has become a lowbrow laughing-stock – and Richard M. Nixon has resigned the United States presidency. Determined to resurrect his career, Frost risks everything on a series of in-depth interviews in order to extract an apology from Nixon, who is equally bent on redeeming himself in his nation’s eyes. In the television age, image is king, and both men are desperate to out-talk and upstage each other as the cameras roll. "Frost / Nixon" runs June 7 – 23, Fridays and Saturdays June 7, 8, 14, 15, 21 and 22 at 8:00 PM, Sundays June 9, 16 and 23 at 2:00 PM and Thursday, June 13 at 8:00 PM. Tickets are $16 – $20.
