Last shows of Murder... directed by Dean St. res

Last call! Four more chances to see Murder in the Cathedral at the Church of St. Joseph, which was extended for one more week. Remaining performances are:
Thursday, Oct. 7 through Saturday, Oct. 9 at 7:30 pm and Sunday, Oct. 10 at 2 pm. Information is below, and on our website: http://www.murderinthecathedral.com

The production is turning out to be a landmark cultural event in the neighborhood. Because of rave reviews and packed houses, the production was extended through October 10. It has been an amazing experience, seeing such diverse audiences and different communities-- we had 300 people at our last show on Saturday night, from all over Prospect Heights, Crown Heights, Park Slope, and Fort Greene. Help us keep that great energy going! The show is free, with a suggested donation of $10. The Church of St. Joseph is located at 856 Pacific Street, between Vanderbilt and Underhill. No advance reservations are necessary. (FYI: the director, Alec Duffy, is a Dean Street resident, and our lead, Godfrey Simmons, Jr., lives in Crown Heights-- there is a Bed Stuy resident and a Fort Greene resident in the cast, as well. Come out and support them!)

What the critics have said:

The New York Times: "Captures the sense of standing in awe of something ineffably vast but that still speaks to you. . . The director, Alec Duffy, smartly uses his vast, upside-down boat-shaped space lighted by golden candle flames to create an atmosphere that is as authentic as it is otherworldly."

Time Out New York: "Four stars. . .Makes you wonder if every show should have frescoed ranks of angels and Gabriel's Horn reverb"

NYTheatre.com: "Duffy's staging makes fine use of the space, sending the cast up and down aisles, perching them in pulpits, even seating them in the pews."

The Brooklyn Eagle: “Every performance is given with passionate fervor and an air of experience”

Brooklyn Paper: “The dynamic between (Godfrey) Simmons and this fourth tempter (Jordan Coughtry) is especially compelling as the actors play out the drama by encircling the entire audience.”
