Boston Theater Company and Citi Performing Arts Center will present the world premiere of Finish Line: A Documentary Play About the 2013 Boston Marathon from March 14-26 at the Citi Performing Arts Center Shubert Theatre. Opening night is set for March 15.

Finish Line is described as "a story of recovery, resilience, and determination that focuses on how a community came together to heal and grow stronger, rather than on the act of violence itself." The script is created verbatim from dozens of interviews.

The play is cocreated by Joey Frangieh and Lisa Rafferty. It is directed by Boston Theater Company artistic director Joey Frangieh. Information on casting and the creative team will be released later this fall.

Through a newly established partnership, NECN will air both a 30-minute special on the making of Finish Line and a 60-minute preview of the production itself. Both will air early next year in advance on the March performance dates.
