Opening Doors | Tesla: A Radio Play for the Stage

Oct

2024

In 1900, Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla were the talk of New York, equally famous for their contributions to the science of electricity. But while Edison was monetizing inventions for the 20th century, Tesla was envisioning breakthroughs to revolutionize the 21st century. Featuring award-winning director Michael Arabian’s star-studded ensemble, Dan Duling’s rapid-fire script vividly brings the improbable but true story of Nikola Tesla, the inventor of alternating current, radio and so much more, to life onstage.
