(Media-Newswire.com) - The University Theatres Gallery series will present "Yellow City," by Iowa Playwrights Workshop student Jen Silverman, at 8 p.m. Dec. 3-5 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6, in Theatre B of the University of Iowa Theatre Building.
"Yellow City," directed by Master of Fine Arts candidate Anthony Nelson ("The Book of Liz"), follows a group of 20-somethings as they literally navigate their way through a wasteland caused by a massive pandemic. Left for dead and barricaded behind highly secured walls, they must travel to the other side of the imprisoned city to find the infamous "Yellow Man," who holds the secret to survival.
Silverman has seen her work produced at New Georges, the New York Stage & Film/ Powerhouse Theatre Company, the NYC International Fringe Festival, Fusion Theatre Company in New Mexico, the Bay Area Playwrights Festival and Circus Theatricals in Los Angeles.
She is a 2009 winner of the Samuel French Off-Off Broadway Play Festival, to be published in "Off Off Broadway Festival Plays, 34th Series."
"Yellow City" contains adult material.
Admission to "Yellow City" will be $5 (free for UI students with a valid UI ID).
