212-254-1109. "Seymour or The Last Fallen Angel" is a dynamic
character study in which a young man desperately tries to rationalize his
feelings of doubt and guilt brought on by the unbending nature of religion.
With the imagination of a child and the reading of a scholar, Seymour plays
multiple characters as he acts out the fallacies and paradoxes of the world's
three major religions, especially Christianity, with his only friend, a
battered sofa name Melba. Cast: Ashley Christopher Leach as Seymour, Melba
as Herself. This play is part of the "Dream Up Festival"; a theater
festival that takes place at the Theater for the New City (TNC) from August
8 to September 5, 2010.
