Hyde Park Theatre: "Caught" by Christopher Chen ($)
⏰ August 24 - September 16
📍 Hyde Park Theatre (511 W 43rd St, Austin, TX 78751)
👉 "Come see us transform HPT into an art gallery for a show by a dissident Chinese conceptual artist, a man who was imprisoned and tortured for an art piece in which he organized an imaginary protest. The New York Times calls Caught, by Christopher Chen, an "intricately constructed, unrelentingly destabilizing puzzle of a play." We think it's dazzling, shocking, and unmissable. Directed by Ken Webster, the show features Norman Tran, Rebecca Robinson, and Robert Pierson."
