“A Two-Hundred Dollar Rhinoceros” – a Play by Richard Lobel

By Irvington Theater

Presented by Irvington Theater and Richard Lobel

“A Two-Hundred Dollar Rhinoceros” SYNOPSIS: Adam is a privileged and idealistic college student living on the Upper West Side. Chance is a grizzled, weary homeless man who sells elaborate sculptures made from wire hangers on West 79th Street. Adam strikes up a conversation with Chance, starting with an offer to buy one of his sculptures. As they talk further, Adam is intrigued by Chance’s story and interviews him for a journalism class. What begins as a lighthearted encounter evolves into something more as Adam learns about what drove Chance to the streets. The play celebrates engagement and a relationship between people who typically would never even meet.
