| ABINGDON THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS Extraordinary Measures a play by Tony Award winner Eve Ensler starring James Lecesne original music by William Harper musical direction by Christian Frederickson directed by Tony Speciale Three Nights Only Dec. 1, 2 & 3 7pm at The DR2 Theatre 101 East 15th Street NYC Tickets $100 Proceeds will benefit Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS & Abingdon Theatre Company James Lecesne ranks among the most talented solo performers of his (or any) generation. — Charles Isherwood, The New York Times It is impossible not to be stirred by the emotional urgency behind Extraordinary Measures. — Ben Brantley, The New York Times Inspired by the final days of Paul Walker, a theater director, performer and instructor who died of AIDS in 1993, the Extraordinary Measures presents death as the ultimate class in life study. The hospital room in which Mr. Walker lies unconscious, kept alive by medical support systems (the “extraordinary measures” of the title), becomes a forum in which his brother, friends and former students individually address the man, struggling to find emotional truth before a mentor who can no longer confirm or question their feelings. All of these people, as well as Mr. Walker himself, are portrayed by the magnetically vital James Lecesne, who appeared in the off-Broadway debut of the play in 1995. All performances will be followed by a post-show discussion, each with a special guest speaker: playwright Eve Ensler (Dec. 1), Koshin Pailey Ellison and Robert Chodo Campbell from NY Zen Center for Contemplative Care (Dec. 2), and Tristan Layton from Dream Foundation (Dec. 3).
