LCT3, Lincoln Center Theater's programming initiative devoted to producing the work of new artists and developing new audiences, has announced the second production of its 2010-2011 season: the world premiere of an LCT3 commission, WHEN I COME TO DIE, a new play by Nathan Louis Jackson, directed by Thomas Kail.

A drama set in a Texas prison, WHEN I COME TO DIE tells the story of Damon Robinson, a death-row inmate, who struggles to understand why his life has been spared after his scheduled execution which goes awry.

Nathan Louis Jackson returns to LCT where he made his New York playwrighting debut this past fall with his play Broke-ology, also directed by Thomas Kail. A writer for the television series "Southland" and the upcoming "Shameless", he has participated in The Kennedy Center Summer Playwrighting Intensive, William Inge 24 Hour Play Festival and Ebony Theater's "The Word" (monthly poetry slam). In addition to the LCT production of Broke-ology, Thomas Kail directed the play's world premiere at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. He received a Tony nomination for his direction of the musical In The Heights and directed the City Center Encores! production of The Wiz. This fall he will direct the Broadway production of Lombardi, a new play by Eric Simonson.
