Zeitgeist Stage Company’s Production of The Submission Set to Begin Performances

Zeitgeist Stage Company's production of The Submission is set to begin tonight at Boston Center for the Arts. In the play, Shaleeha G’ntamobi has found success. Her play, about an alcoholic African-American and her cardsharp son in the projects, has been accepted by the prestigious Humana Festival. Unfortunately, Shaleeha is a fiction created in the hopes of boosting the plays chances for success. She is nothing more than a pseudonym made up for Danny, a young, gay, white playwright. In an attempt to save face and the play, Danny hires Emilie, an African-American actress, to masquerade as his alter ego. As the ruse becomes more complicated, Danny, Emilie, and all his friends are led down a path of lies and betrayal.

The show is directed by David J. Miller and written by Jeff Talbott. It features Aina Adler as Emilie, Diego Buscaglia as Pete, Matthew Fagerberg as Trevor, and Victor Shopov as Danny.

The creative team includes David Miller (set design), Victor Shopov (costume design), Michael Clark Wonson (lighting design), J. Jumbelic (sound design), and Caitlin Elizabeth (stage manager).

Performances will run through May 30.
