Lincoln Center is delighted to announce an audio described performance of Opening Skinner’s Box, a production of Britain’s Improbable theater company, presented as part of Lincoln Center Festival.  With their trademark mix of wit, insight, and inventive stagecraft, the performance is a “fascinating, if at times alarming” (Times, U.K.) tour of ten famous 20th-century psychological experiments, starting with B.F. Skinner’s notorious rat boxes. Inspired by Lauren Slater’s acclaimed book, Opening Skinner’s Box is a time-traveling dialogue with the audacious scientists who set out to unlock the secrets of human behavior.

The performance on Tuesday, July 11th features live audio description for guests who are blind or have low vision, with complementary single earpiece receivers.  The performance takes place at the Gerald Lynch Theater at John Jay College, on West 59th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues. There will be no intermission.
