CITY OF NUMBERS at The InterAct Theater Company was created by playwright Sean Christopher Lewis as part of an outreach effort in which he interviewed
 lifetime inmates at Graterford Prison about their
 work as mural artists. Since its early beginnings,
CITY OF NUMBERS has grown into a dynamic one-man tour de force performance that interweaves 
the stories of dozens of Philadelphians - from
 convicted murderers to victims’ relatives to
 physicians to artists to community leaders to
Mayor Michael Nutter. A sobering, moving, and
ultimately uplifting portrait of a city gripped
by violent crime, CITY OF NUMBERS reveals both the sharp divisions and deep sense of community that define the City of Brotherly Love.
Opening Night is January 27, 2010 at 7:00pm. All other show times vary from 2:00pm weekend Matinees to 7:00pm and 8:00pm evening shows. Please, check listings on the website for show times.
