Ticketing Philosophy:  Everyone should see the show at the price that works best for them, and give to the Project as they're able.  Instead of the few enjoying art at a high price, we want everyone to enjoy it at the rate they feel is just, helping each other when possible.

 

If you would like to give a different amount than one of the rates shown on the next page, please contact the owner of The Lightbulb Project directly at lucas@lightbulbprojectonstage.com.  He'll make sure you see the show at the rate you want!

The Siegel, by Michael Mitnick

 

Ethan Siegel is in love.  Tonight, he's going to ask Alice's parents for permission to marry her.  There's just one hitch.  Ethan and Alice broke up two years ago -- and she's in a serious relationship with someone else.  An irresistible comedy about modern love and the need to go back in order to move forward.

 

Explicit language.  90 minutes, no intermission.

 

"The dialogue is spirited and wacky, with a distinctively millennial edge." -- LA Times

"THE SIEGEL blasts us with laughs aimed at its characters, yet those laughs have a way of deflecting our thoughts back to our own lives. . . . refreshingly original" -- The Orange County Register (CA)

"THE SIEGEL is as sharp as the pop of a whip, entertaining and endearing." -- OC Weekly (CA)

The Lightbulb Project is a brand-new Buffalo theater initiative.  Our mission is to find the spark of inspiration at the heart of each play and let it burn with a light that is unsullied, revealing, transformative -- and available to all.  We value an organic, collaborative process that creates fresh, connected, honest performances, uniquely present to each and every audience.
