The Off-Broadway production of writer/director Daniel Beaty’s Through the Night has launched a special educational outreach program, entitled “Shine the Light.” The show is currently performing at the Union Square Theatre, with an official opening on September 26.

In the piece, Beaty portrays an entire cast of characters, from inquisitive boy to elder preacher, spinning a tale in which lives collide to show how hope, faith and love can pull anyone “Through the Night.”

The “Shine the Light” program will allow corporations, foundations, and individuals to provide tri-state, inner-city students to fully underwriting the cost of their tickets. Participants in the program include the Blanche and Irvine Laurie Foundation and MCJ Melor Foundation. For information on how to contribute, click here.
