A classic of twentieth-century American fiction there remain few doubts of the greatness of "Gatsby" or of its imaginative relevance to American experience. New York Times
Midwest native Nick Carraway arrives in 1922 New York in search of the American dream. Nick, a would-be writer, moves in next-door to the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby, just across the bay from his cousin Daisy and her philandering husband, Tom Buchanan. Thus, Nick becomes drawn into the captivating world of the wealthy and -- as he bears witness to
their illusions and deceits -- narrates a tale of impossible love, dreams, and tragedy that embodies the breathtaking glamour and decadent excess of the Jazz Age.

ABOUT THE BURBAGE THEATRE CO
Founded in 2010, Burbage is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to excite and engage a new generation of theatre-goer with socially relevant and compelling stories, both classic and contemporary, told by an inventive and expert ensemble of actors.
We believe in the importance of irreverence. We believe that acting comes first. We believe the theatre's continued relevance as a civil institution is best perpetuated by building productions and their aesthetic around the collaboration of an expert ensemble of storytellers. We believe it is the actor's job to activate thought and inner movement in his audience.
In collaboration with Aurora, Burbage's theatrical residence in downtown Providence, Burbage is dedicated to the growing and cultivating of the diverse artistic community in Rhode Island by providing affordable access to the performing arts and perpetuating a discourse about, not only content, but the actor's role as storyteller in today's world. Burbage is an ideal sustainable arts model for the 21st Century.
