The Floating Lightbulb

Bay Area theatre favorite Nancy Carlin directs Woody Allen’s exploration of love and loneliness in a workingclass Jewish family. Set in 1945 in the Canarsie neighborhood of Brooklyn, a teenage boy with a passion for magic tricks provides the light for his mother’s otherwise frustrated life. Her husband is a petty gambler and philanderer, and the coming visit of a talent scout to see her son perform holds a promise for a better future.
