NEXT UP: LINCOLN CENTER'S---ON THE LEVEE--SET TO START PREVIEWS JUNE 14th




ON THE LEVEE
A PLAY WITH MUSIC



The final production this season from LCT3, Lincoln Center Theater's initiative devoted to producing new work by artists and developing new audiences is, ON THE LEVEE.

**Set on a levee in Greenville, Mississippi, ON THE LEVEE, is a play with music that revisits the flood of 1927, the worst in U.S. history. At the heart of the story are two fathers (a white cotton farmer and an African-American bootblack) and their sons. Based on a true story, ON THE LEVEE reaffirms the enduring spirit of hope in a time of great poverty and devastation.**
