North Carolina Stage Company brings epic Tony Award winning play The Lehman Trilogy to Asheville.

The year is 1844 and Henry Lehman stands on the dock of a ship heading to America. What follows is the incredible story of three immigrant brothers searching for the American dream, finding their place in a new country, and helping to define modern capitalism as we know it.

Weaving together nearly two centuries of family history, this vast theatrical event, directed by NC Stage co-founder Charlie Flynn-McIver charts the humble beginnings, outrageous successes and devastating failure of the family business turned financial institution that would ultimately bring the global economy to its knees. 

Over the course of three acts, three talented actors-- Adam Kampouris (All is Calm), Philip Kershaw (A Case for the Existence of God, Witch), and Willie Repoley (Angels in America, Frost/Nixon)--portray three generations of a family whose name became synonymous with the 2008 financial collapse and the following recession, taking us on the journey of the brothers who came with nothing, speaking not a word of English, and built an entire universe.
