It seems that the fickle "FINGER" of fate is once again working overtime to bring FATHERS OF THE DARK KNIGHT to the stage this spring!
Having lost its intended previous auditorium performance venue at Bronx Community College due to administrative changes, last month, the FOTDK producers scrambled desperately to find a suitable replacement venue in order to raise its curtain without delay.
Having lost its intended previous auditorium performance venue at Bronx Community College due to administrative changes, last month, the FOTDK producers scrambled desperately to find a suitable replacement venue in order to raise its curtain without delay.
Having learned that the Grand Auditorium at the Bronx's DeWitt Clinton High School Campus was available for performance use, Playwright and Producer Roberto Williams quickly fired off a letter to the school's Principal Mr. Santiago Taveras telling him all about the FATHERS OF THE DARK KNIGHT stage production, and two of the play's central figures (Batman mythology co-creators Bob Kane and Bill Finger... BOTH famous graduates from DeWitt Clinton High School's class of 1933!!) The school administrator was thrilled at the prospect of bringing FOTDK to his school and he invited Williams to the school to personally meet with him and his staff, and to view the breath-taking auditorium space.
During the meeting, the excitement for the production's presentation at DeWitt Clinton HS was electric, and Mr. Taveras and his aides generously pledged all their full support behind the ambitious venture!
Featuring elegant turn of the century old-world styling, the Grand Auditorium at DeWitt Clinton Campus is the PERFECT venue for a gothic period-piece play like FATHERS OF THE DARK KNIGHT! The space features hanging chandeliers, an impressive 30-foot wide proscenium stage, and a seating capacity of 1900 !!
