The triumphant return of the company that brought Globe audiences last summer’s smash hit Passengers. Love, honor, and betrayal come to life through a blend of acrobatics, theatre, and music in this one-act romp perfect for all ages. Two feuding families engage in a battle of skill, each competition more daring than the last. While the two groups face off, cheered on by their side of the audience, a pair of star-crossed lovers struggles to escape the showdown. The exhilaration and danger of competition provide the thrilling backdrop to The 7 Fingers’s one-of-a-kind daredevil theatrical extravaganza.

This production includes stylized depictions of violence.

Total running time: 75 minutes (one act with no intermission).

Please note that we have a unique late-seating policy for this production. Due to the unique nature of the show, and for the safety of our performers, those who arrive late may not be seated in their assigned locations.
