THE BREAK OF NOON

by Neil Labute

Youngstown Cultural Arts Center
September 5 - 28 2014

A Northwest Premiere!
Amidst the chaos and horror of the worst office mass shooting event in American history, John Smith, the only survivor sees the face of God. His modern-day revelation creates a maelstrom of disbelief among everyone he knows as he struggles to lead a better life. THE BREAK OF NOON explores our society, the media, religion and gun violence as only Labute could imagine.

"Unsettles exactly as it should... In this new work from the prolific and undeniably talented Neil LaBute...A nifty coup de théàtre" --The New York Times

"Neil LaBute has done something quite different in this new play: He's created what basically amounts to a Rorschach test of faith." --Associated Press

"A darkly comic morality tale." --New York Post

Don't miss this controversial award-winning new play that's classic Labute.
