Franklinland

The longevous Ensemble Studio Theatre mounts a new work commissioned by company: a comedy by Lloyd Suh (a Pulitzer finalist last year for Far Country) that imagines the difficulties of being the only son of great American writer, inventor and tonsorial cautionary tale Benjamin Franklin. Chika Ike directs a cast of three that includes Noah Keyishian, Mason Reeves and downtown-theater MVP Thomas Jay Ryan.
