In this side-splitting new musical comedy, nothing is ever black and white.
Newton Anderson, a 17-year-old chess prodigy, is facing the greatest player in the world: Carson Marlsen. With international notoriety and $100,000 on the line, Newton and his clueless best friend, Jim, hatch an...unconventional...plan to cheat. For curious theatre-goers and chess fans alike, come on down to The Opening. Just maybe don't bring your kids.
From the award-winning musical writing team Brooke Di Spirito and Mateo Chavez Lewis comes the Off-Broadway debut musical comedy, The Opening. The Opening runs for one month only at the Players Theatre.
1hr 30min. No intermission.
Ages 13+.
