Lobby Hero at Avery Schreiber Theater

Hailed by Time Out New York as "a masterpiece" and nominated for a 2001 Drama Desk Award for Best Play, Lobby Hero finds drama, comedy and romance colliding in the lobby of a Manhattan high-rise apartment building. Written by Kenneth Lonergan (You Can Count on Me, This is Our Youth), the play follows ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances, as hapless security guard Jeff gets caught up in a power struggle between his boss and two police officers investigating a murder. Jeff's boss, William, runs a tight ship, strictly upholding the laws and ethics of the building. But when William is suddenly called to bear witness against his troubled brother, the local cops and apartment occupants intertwine while an attractive rookie cop must stand up to her seasoned partner. Truth becomes elusive and justice proves costly. Christine Macedo directs this production for the Red Brick Road Theatre Company.
