Syracuse University Drama Department
David Lowenstein and Felipe Panamá, director

Storch Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

A young American soldier, a beautiful French girl, and an indomitable European city.

Jerry, an American veteran, is still reeling from the war when he discovers the girl of his dreams: Lise, a captivating young dancer at the ballet. By chance or fate, Jerry also catches the eye of Milo, an American heiress. To add more confusion to this love triangle, Lise is already engaged to marry Henri, a rich young businessman, who still dreams of being a performer himself. Does Lise truly love Henri, or is the American stranger the man of her dreams? As the weight of the Nazi Occupation begins to lift, the inhabitants of Paris come alive and rediscover life's grandest possibilities in this fanciful classic.

A love letter to Syracuse from the writer of Possessing Harriet.

1950s Syracuse: The Nationals represent the city in the fledgling NBA while the team's two African American players, among the first Black athletes to play professionally, navigate the sport's color barrier and new rules as they fight to leave their mark on the court and on the history of the game. Inspired by the true story of "The Nats" and their championship season, Kyle Bass's The Black Nationals is a fast-paced, imaginative new play that celebrates a defining moment of Central New York history at the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement and invites us to consider a world where, in the game of life, everyone has a fair shot.
