Having previewed the play in October as part of its Phoenix Live Arts Festival in Nyack, Phoenix Theatre Ensemble, led by Craig Smith and Elise Stone, will present the world premiere of 'Drinks With Dead Poets'.

OBIE-winning theater company Hoi Polloi (Three Pianos; All Hands) returns to JACK with a peek inside the meeting of a white anti-racist group.
