About the Play: Before the unforgettable film version starring Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin, this electrifying thriller was a hit on Broadway and London's West End. The suspense begins from the opening scene, as three sinister con men embark on a mission to find a very valuable doll in a dark Greenwich Village apartment. But they get more than they bargain for when the blind Susy Hendrix returns home and begins to suspect all is not as it seems. The deadly cat-and-mouse game builds to a heart-pounding “lights out” climax that’s sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
About Theatre Jacksonville:
Theatre Jacksonville is America's longest-running volunteer-based community theatre, founded in 1919. Land and funding for construction of the theatre's historic San Marco building was donated by Carl S. Swisher, and a renovation of the facility was completed in 2000 with funding from the Harold K. Smith Playhouse Endowment. TJ has a local historic designation granted by Jacksonville's Bureau of Historic Preservation
Theatre Jacksonville's mission is to create opportunities for community participation in theatre arts. This mission mandates inclusion and the development of diversity in the Company's artistic, volunteer, audience and donor bases. This goal is achieved through presenting plays and programs of noted artistic excellence, supporting volunteers and students with exceptional training opportunities, and allowing for the development of unique and/or original performance projects and events by Florida artists.
The theatre is operated by a small paid staff and the priceless time of its many volunteers: actors, stage hands, and other assistants to the productions.
