The Great Gatsby

Text by Richard Alger

Directed by Tina Kronis

"The Great Gatsby" is a new movement-centric stage play based upon F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel of the same name. Gatsby explores wealth inequality and dives into the sordid lives of the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ through the lens of the roaring twenties party scene.
