SIDE MAN

Season: 56 (2001 - 2002)

Run Date(s): Apr. 25, 2002 - Apr. 28, 2002

Description: This springís Gallery Series production is the award-winning SIDE MAN, Warren Leightís comic and tender story of Clifford, a young man looking back on his family life. Clifford must reconcile the role he has long played as parent to his parents, Gene, a jazz musician, and Terry, an alcoholic. Smoothly gliding between past and present, the play spans 32 years, harking back to a time before the Beatles and Elvis, when jazzmen were as heroic as ball players and there was no shortage of Saturday night gigs. SIDE MAN is a tribute to men whose lives were their music, and a sober look at the family drama that churned in the wake of that passion. LCPís Gallery Series productions are somewhat out of the mainstream and presented with minimal technical elements, focusing instead on the script, the acting and the directing. Patrons should be aware that this play contains adult language and situations.
