Mercury is a brand-new play penned by Wilmington’s own Lee Lowrimore. This world premiere invites you to experience a bold, witty, and touching exploration of friendship, love, and the unbreakable spirit that insists that “the show must go on”!

It’s 1977 and disco rules the city. Tucked away in the heart of downtown Manhattan, a gay off-off-OFF Broadway theater is barely surviving by operating Mercury Messages, a soon-to-be obsolete telephone answering service. But times are changing: affordable answering machines are upending the old ways, the economic landscape is shifting, and the ambitions of the theater’s artists are evolving.

As this ragtag troupe faces the dual threats of heartbreak and uncertainty, one question hangs in the air: will this signal the final act, or the cue for a dazzling new beginning?

Please note: The show contains adult language, mature themes, and moments both hilarious and moving.
