On a cold September morning in 1844, a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside dreaming of a new life in the new world. Cut to 164 years later, when the firm he establishes with his two brothers collapses into bankruptcy, triggering the largest financial crisis in history.

In The Lehman Trilogy, three actors fill every generation of the Lehman Brothers’ family, taking audiences on an incredible ride through history and delivering joy, success, and heartbreak in equal measure.

Greenvillians can catch this theatrical examination of the American Dream — and winner of Best Play at last year’s Tony Awards — Feb. 2-18 at The Warehouse Theatre.
