WORLD PREMIERE OF "THE SEQUENCE" EXTENDED AT BOSTON COURT UNTIL NOVEMBER 23
PASADENA, Calif., October 30, 2008 – The Theatre @ Boston Court has extended the critically acclaimed World Premiere of Paul Mullin's "The Sequence" until November 23 on the Main Stage at Boston Court Performing Arts Center, 70 North Mentor Avenue.
"We're gratified that 'The Sequence' has been so well received by both patrons of the arts and the science community," said Michael Seel, executive director. "Pasadena is known for both, and it's wonderful to have this opportunity to bring them together at Boston Court."
Directed by John Langs, "The Sequence" follows the real life race between scientists Craig Venter and Francis Collins to sequence the human genome. Will the grand prize be the public good or private profit? And in the midst of the frenzied race to determine what makes a human being, how will three people - each in hot pursuit of scientific discovery and enduring fame - discover their own humanity? This unpredictably hilarious true story depicts the double-talk and double-cross in the pursuit of double-stranded DNA.
"The Sequence" runs Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through November 23. Tickets are priced at $32 and can be purchased online at bostoncourt.org or by calling (626) 683-6883. Boston Court Performing Arts Center is located one block north of Colorado at the corner of Mentor Ave. and Boston Ct.
"The Sequence" is supported by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, Founding Director Z. Clark Branson, and the generous contributions of The Theatre @ Boston Court patrons. Partial funding is generously provided by The Ensemble Studio Theatre/Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in Science & Technology Project.
