Southampton Arts Center presents “Tru,” the one-man show by Jay Pressor Allen, directed by Will Pomerantz and starring Patrick Christiano, on Saturday, June 22 and Sunday, June 23.

Adapted from the works of Truman Capote, this show explores the literary legend as he finds himself a social outcast overnight after betraying the secrets and trust of some high society confidantes in his new novel “Answered Prayers.” Alone in his luxurious New York apartment on Christmas Eve 1975, he drunkenly contemplates fame, literature and his unfulfilled life.

Patrick Christiano previously played this role at Players by the Sea in Jacksonville, Florida.

Will Pomerantz is the associate artistic director at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor.

Tickets are $20 ($15 members) at southamptonartscenter.org or 631-283-0967. Southampton Arts Center is at 25 Jobs Lane, Southampton.
