Explore & Learn: Our 2023-24 Season

TimeLine is back in the fall with a 4-play subscription season that brims with humor, poignance, outrage, and passion. Our 27th season spans centuries—from the 19th century all the way up to 2023—and reflects everyone’s history. What connects these four premieres is TimeLine’s mission to present stories inspired by history that connect with today’s social and political issues. While you can read more about each show on our 2023-2024 season page, here’s a glimpse of the history and the issues at the heart of each of these stories, as well as the answer to the question we’re always asking, “Why now?” 

 


 THE LEHMAN TRILOGY
by Stefano Massini
adapted by Ben Power
Directed by Nick Bowling and Vanessa Stalling

 

ABOUT THE SHOW
A young Jewish man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside in 1844 dreaming of a new life in the new world. He is soon joined by his two brothers and an American epic begins. 163 years later, the firm they establish—Lehman Brothers—spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy, triggering the largest financial crisis in history. Weaving together nearly two centuries of family history, this theatrical event charts the humble beginnings, outrageous successes, and devastating failure of the financial instituions that would ultimately bring the global economy to its knees.
