Light Up the Sky

This backstage theatre comedy by Pulitzer Prize winning author Moss Hart (You Can’t Take It With You, The Man Who Came To Dinner), describes the traumas and triumphs of opening night. Written in 1949, this insider’s view of the comic horrors of creating a Broadway show offers a rare look at the business’s relationships and personalities stretched to the breaking point. Set in a Boston hotel suite of the Ritz Carlton, Light Up the Sky contrasts the glamorous onstage with the neurotic backstage. None of the zany cast of characters, including the temperamental leading lady, the flamboyant director, the lowbrow producer and the sensitive young playwright, is safe from Hart’s loving mockery. “A noisy and rollicking comedy about the art of the drama.” New York Daily News

The play moves to the Solvang Festival Theatre starting Friday, September 3rd. Schedule varies. Contact box office.
