In this smart and sexy new play, two American architects dive into a high-stakes competition to design a memorial in Israel. They're also in love—but don't know that they are vying against one another.
Higher whisks us from sleek New York studios to the shores of the Sea of Galilee, as the architects confront their own pasts in a race to make their mark on history.
Faith, family, desire, and design fuel this thrilling new work, featuring A.C.T. core acting company member René Augesen and A.C.T. favorite Andrew Polk (The Homecoming, November).

by Carey Perloff
