CasablancaBox

April 5 – 29, 2017

2 Drama Desk Nominations
Unique Theatrical Experience
& Reid Farrington, Outstanding Projection Design

CasablancaBox lifts the veil of the eponymous classic film to reveal the stories behind the legends. Rife with glamour, war, censorship, sexism, racism, addiction and the refugee crisis of 1940s Hollywood, CasablancaBox is madcap and affecting, moving and political, romantic and relevant. With an intricately woven multi-narrative script and video score, CasablancaBox is an imagined “making of” tribute to the movie you thought you knew.
