For 77 years, the Gene Frankel Theatre has been part of New York’s theater community. Its mission has always been to build an audience that shares the thrill of live theater.
Although it is not required, most New York City high school students encounter at least one Shakespearean play each year. As a result, Hamlet is one of New York’s best-known yet least-read of Shakespeare’s plays. (Remember Cliff Notes?) So, there is no need to restate the plot.
Approaching the Gene Frankel Theatre, one notices Bruce Williams’ installation, *Dreams of Hyperion*, with its golden figures moving up and down the front of the building. It complements the production of *Lucky Man – A Warrior’s Journey* perfectly. Just as the dreams of the sun god go up and down, so does the life of Thomas G. Waites.
