The Visit - Columbia University Theatre

March 13th - 16th 2025

about the show:

“When billionaire Claire Zachanassian returns to her impoverished hometown—once a place of deep betrayal—she finds the same townspeople who cruelly wronged her, now desperate for the promise of salvation that she brings. But Claire’s arrival comes with a chilling ultimatum: the town must confront its dark past, and the price of redemption may be far greater than anyone is willing to pay.

As lies unravel, allegiances shift, and justice takes on a new meaning, The Visit poses a chilling question: what would you sacrifice to reclaim what was taken from you?“
