The World Premiere of “The Tallest Building in the World” by Matt Schatz

Troy Miller, Director, at Luna Stage, West Orange, NJ

About the Play: With equal measure of ego and genius, a young New York engineer sets out to build the world’s tallest building – an easy task, as long as he can get his architect, the owner of the Empire State Building, and the Laws of Physics to cooperate. Based on actual events, The Tallest Building in the World examines the 1960s birth of the World Trade Center towers and what is gained and what is lost when we try to reach the sky.

Starring: Pun Bandhu, David Bonanno, Drew Dix, Nehassaiu DeGannes, and Kane Prestenback.

Design Team: Robert Monaco (Set Design), Jill Nagle (Lighting Design), Steve Brown (Sound Design), Lisa Loen (Costume Design), Liz Cesario (Production Manager), Mary Ellen Allison (Stage Manager)

“… strong, lively performances.”

Anita Gates, The New York Times

“Bandhu is masterful. His architect is alternately likeable and

annoying, filled with equal parts acerbic arrogance and self-

doubt.Don’t miss this show.”

Ruth Ross, NJArtsMaven.com

“Bandhu plays Yama with confidence. He has the fury of the

unwavering artist who won’t compromise — but he

eventually finds that he must.”

Peter Filichia, NJ Star Ledger

“Bandhu gives us an extraordinarily believable and complex

portrayal.”
