Scottish Youth Theatre |
 |
Algonquin Theatre
SYT productions, Scotland’s premier youth theatre presents ‘When A Star Falls’. In the crisp darkness of an October night, six teenagers gather to watch a meteor shower but are the shooting stars as innocent as they seem or do they distract the observer from what is really falling? More importantly, just what is one of the group trying to hide? Find out this Tartan Week at the Algonquin Theatre, 123 E. 24th Street from April 2nd-5th. Call 011 44 141 552 3988 for tickets, priced at a suggested $10 donation.
