NYU Skirball presents Target Margin Theater’s newest production Show / Boat: A River.

SYNOPSIS:

This new adaptation of the groundbreaking piece Show Boat reframes the 1927 production for today. From the 1880s to 1927, the United States moved from steamboats to airplanes, from vaudeville to radio, and from the Spanish-moss south to Chicago in the great migration. Show Boat is a story and a national history marred by violent racism, and yet this pivotal work aspires to a better America.
