"Elijah: An Adventure" marks Local Theater Company's maiden voyage
At the start of "Elijah: An Adventure," black-clad figures appear on stage. They look almost frozen in the waves of "bon voyages" that those on shore direct to loved ones on an ocean liner. It makes an arresting image. And the scene is just one of the lovely moments in Local Theater Company's world premiere of Michael Mitnick's story of a young Jewish man who sets sail for Paris in 1922.
