Two ambitious co-workers meet for the first time when a catastrophic event traps them in a skyscraper elevator. In the darkness, Theodore 'Big Time' Southmore and Tina Pardon form an intimate bond, sharing their deepest fears and darkest secrets, touching on issues of race, culture, and class.

This gripping drama by award-winning writer Walter Mosley makes its New York City debut as the third production of the 5A Season. LIFT made its world premiere in April 2014 at Crossroads Theatre Company in New Brunswick, NJ.
